Are Duracells chargable now?

Well yes, but you really don't want to know how they attach the leads.

Haymans (MM Electrical in some states) stock them, though I do have an account there they will deal with non trade. They have them in packs of 24, I get through quite a few of them in test equipment.Theo Bekkers said:Duracell Bunny wrote:

You'd be a real bunny if you believed the TV ads about how long they last.
If you want longer lasting batteries than even Duracell, then find some
Eveready Energiser Industrials. They come in basic black and are not for
resale, and are very cheap e.g. AA for $0.55, but you have to buy a gross
(that's 144 for you young people) to get that price. Unfortunately you also
have to buy from a wholesaler.

I agree - I often work in areas where there there is no power, and need to use test equipement that chews through batteries, and don't like low voltage, so I have little choice but to use dry cells. I did try ni-cads, & finished up throwing them away as they simply did not do the job, unless I jury-rigged them to take another cell to increase the effective voltage - which made them impractical in normal working conditions.Theo Bekkers said:Resound wrote:

Rechargables can be a pain in the ****. You have to manage them, buy a bunch
of chargers, have somewhere to plug them in, and you get a lower voltage.
Generally rechargables only give you 1.2 V. For applications like cordless
mouses (mice, meece?) and keyboards, rechargables are useless, as the
devices expect 1.5 V and will give you a 'low battery' indication in a week
as against months with a lead-acid.
