message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: 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)

message: From the pop culture section on the article page - A Duracell battery appears in The Matrix, when Morpheus uses one to explain to Neo that humans are being used as a power supply.
Anyone know what size battery? Perhaps a C cell?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Northrup (talk • contribs) 19:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:Duracell's advertising campaigns have always outlined the reliability of a Duracell battery really is. These campaigns show real people using the battery to power the devices they find most important: everything from a Defibrillator to a BrickHouse Child Locator [http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/locator.html Spending millions dollars on these campaigns, Duracell has become a household name that businesses, government, and everyday consumers to trust when they need it most.
with this
:Duracell's advertising campaigns in the USA have always outlined the reliability of Duracell batteries. These campaigns show people using the battery to power the devices they find most important: everything from a Defibrillator to a BrickHouse Child Locator [http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/locator.html. Spending millions of dollars on these campaigns, Duracell has become a household name.
and added
:In the United Kingdom, advertising has concentrated more on the long life of the batteries. Since 1973 a pink toy bunny owered by a Duracell has outlasted other toys in a variety of exercises.[7]
That's improved the syntax, removed POV speculation about what people think, asked for a citation on how much P&G spend on their advertising, and removed the assumption that the "reliability" ads are used worldwide.  The Brickhouse child locator seems particularly US-centric.  I don't know whether the bunny has ever been used in the US, but if anyone does, can they put in a mention?

message: Duracell's NiMH rechargeable batteries may be re-branded Sanyo or Rayovac batteries. There are ongoing discussions about the "white top" and "black top" versions. Does Duracell actually manufacture any of their rechargeable NiMH batteries as the article claims? 76.111.72.122 (talk) 04:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re-Branded Batteries 

message: For many years Duracell alkaline batteries (AA and AAA sizes) have been facing leakage issues even when brand new, in the sealed package, when installed in devices, and also after few months of use. 
This is true also as of today, in 2022. I am holding a new, unused Duracell Ultra, AA size (LR6) (made in China, packed: 2021 Feb, best before: 2031), just taken out of the package. It is leaking fluid from the negative terminal, a transparent fluid. It was stored for one year sealed in the package in a relatively cool place (below 30 deg C), and no moisture.
Why is there no mention of this in the article? Polytope4D (talk) 05:49, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
