The 24 batteries I received from the Amazon Seller are dated Mar 2013. So far, the batteries received are preforming alright, but the date on them is from two years ago.New Duracell batteries I purchased last week at Lowes, are dated Mar 2015. What can I really say about batteries, especially Duracell. My only comment can be that what I received was older stock.
They make them as a separate line so they won't directly compete with their consumer lines.My experience is that these batteries do not last quite as long as the top consumer lines from Duracell and Energizer. These batteries are a very good choice for an inexpensive alkaline. So, they are much more cost effective.Unless you are using them in an application where it is difficult to change the batteries, I recommend going with these instead of spending more. However, they are within 10-20% (depending on the application), and are considerably cheaper. Heavy duty batteries, are not cost effective because although cheaper, they have a very short run time. To get the best bang for your buck, go for alkalines like these.The "Procell" designation is basically Duracell's way of marking these batteries as ones intended for industrial applications.
They last long and are great. I know of these kind of batteries because when I worked a telemetry floor as a nurse and ICU we used them on the patients' portable monitors.
It's living up to its reputation as described so far. I've been using 2 of these batteries in my walkman for 10 hours now and they are still going very strong.
