On January 18th user at 65.190.26.23 added only the following "When tested, however, Duracell usually lasts longer than Energizer". Corporate spamming like this ruins Wikipedia. Keep an eye out.

Can anyone please translate these compounds into english? I would like to know how batteries work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fheo (talk • contribs) 19:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC).-Fheo

[edit] Mascot?

Perhaps the Duracell rabbit should be added here? GavinTing 15:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you are referring to the Energizer Bunny.  ;-) Dreammaker182 (talk) 05:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Types?

Duracell Plus Duracell Ultra

Whats the difference? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by StevenAFC (talk • contribs) 13:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Formats

So, Duracell invented AA and AAA, but who invented the others? C, D and did other letters ever apply to battery formats? And how did any formats become standard? Jim.henderson 05:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

According to Electrochemistry Encyclopedia C D and cell batteries were created by the "American Electrical Novelty and Manufacturing Company" in 1899. That company traded hands a few times over the last century, selling products under the trademarks 'Ever Ready' and eventually 'Eveready', and eventually came under ownership of Energizer Holdings. Sources for this can be found here (look for "Flashlights and flashlight batteries") and here. Gh5046 20:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duracell claims

what about the claims made in the Duracell comercials that Durracell batteries are "trusted" by paramedics and astronauts in their IMAX film cameras? They have been claiming in their TV ads that certain professions "trust" their brand over others for the passed few years. Perhaps this can be investigated and added. I couldn't find anything usefull on their corparate site.Dreammaker182 (talk) 05:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
