PROCELLDuracell AA Alkaline 144 Batteries

Good price. Quick delivery.

I ordered 144 Duracell cells and received them the next afternoon. The Duracell Intense brand cells came in 6 small boxes of 24, each box taped with original looking tape. The small boxes came in a ProCell printed outer corrugated box. They were individually marked with an expiration date of March 2026, about 23 months away. Everything looks legit.Now, for those who do not understand about ProCells, they are the bulk or wholesale name for Duracells that are not for individual retail sales. They do not contain any attractive packaging and are bulk boxed. They are targeted to large volume professional users. I have been using them in a broadcast environment for wireless microphones, remote controls, and torch/flashlights for years and they seem to perform well.I tested each and every cell with a 3 Ω load in parallel with a voltmeter. All 144 cells performed within specifications, although 8 tested erratically. When inspected carefully, the 8 had a thin layer of some substance on the negative end that acted as an insulator. I was able to remove the crud with a polishing cloth and all 5 then tested as the rest.The negative end is enclosed and usually does not leak electrolyte as easily as the positive ends. But I emphasize, this was not white puffy electrolyte on the negative ends. I All I can say is that after polishing the 8 cells on the negative end, I now have 144 cells testing good.Those are the facts. This is the first time I have seen any substance on new ProCells and will update my review if the lifespan appears different from purchases made from my other wholesale supply company who was temporarily out of stock. For now, they are fine and working as our previous ones.------------- Update ------------2 months later I am disappointed to report that 2 of the 8 crusty cells continued to accumulate a white substance on the negative end while in flashlight/torch service and were subsequently replaced. I did not keep track of hours so cannot say definitively that they failed early except for the crust. I have never had Procells show crust except after years in storage. This is a concern. The date code says that they should be good. Could this be a batch that was exposed to excessive heat or cold? I am seeing many reports that Duracell brand generally leaks more than Energizer and that this batch is typical. I will continue to update my review as more is learned.

Good batteries. We use a lot of batteries because we have several wildlife cameras and they last.

Best for wireless microphone. We use them in church for hour to hour and 20 min, and they last 4-5 services which is over a month for us whereas the regular batteries would not last us 1 full hour. Only for microphones, we have used them for in-ear monitors and the battery drains faster

I mainly use these AA batteries for my game cameras. I pay extra for the higher end batteries because they just seem to work better in my game cameras. These batteries are stored until needed and sometimes that can be a few weeks. Well, these batteries had been in my possession for 4 weeks. When I opened up the packs several of these batteries were crusty and leaking. I was just a few days past being able to return them! I don't usually see this with Duracell batteries no matter how long they were in storage!
