![]() They will send you a super large FedEx white baggy to return the batteries. But, can say they are pretty good about the warranty for the batteries but should be aware. Years back, any warrantees I ever remember, stated it was limited to the cost of the batteries only.įrom what I remember those hieroglyphics aren't French and the CORRODID-19 is another clue.Ĭan't say if their warranty covers the hardware as it's been awhile since reading the advert. I would be fairly sure they won't cover the equipment the leakage ruined though. Before tossing things around and leaving yourself open to a *Ah sh^t* moment of I should have saved that!ĭuracell has truly gone into the sh^tter over the years and the worst part is people can't say this is because it's made in China! All of the batteries from Costco are made in the USA / Canada. This is why I always take a picture of the receipt, packaging, and batteries. The only problem you may run into is being able to provide them the sales receipt, UPC code, etc. and it didn't even last a couple of months vs more than a year plus using Duracell, Energizer, Insteon brand *Gold*?įor those who have seen this issue with Duracell primary batteries I can say their service after the sale is pretty solid. Plugged them in to a few older Insteon M.S. I have started to use the Walmart branded *blue label* 9 VDC batteries but have found them to be so so. If the costs weren't so high I would probably be using them in every device I own. The lithium type from Energizer however has provided great long term (low temperature) performance in many items I use without issues. Haven't used the standard Energizer primary cells for decades so don't have any factual long term experience to say if they will leak. Fast forward to 2020 I have personally moved away from Duracell and started using Energizer as the battery of choice. I have been using Duracell for more than 35 years and in a lot of the facilities where I managed this brand was spec'd. One brand ran 11.5v and damaged a MS I already. I have tried a few Lithium 9v brands now and they don't last any longer in MS Is so they 4 x price is not warranted either. No complaints yet but I date them all the last few years. I am testing out Walmart's generic brand on them. Right now I am stocked up on the Kirkland brand at about half the price. I have never had problems with Ray-o-Vac yet but then Duracell was the best at one time too. Likely the same old one but launched a cheaper line. I haven't looked in other stores but Costco started selling these cheaper Duracell batteries at the same time Duracell announced a new and improved version. Though I suppose they could have also been counterfeit from who knows where. Those where written off as toss them and don't trust that brand again. Go bad as dead or leaking in the blister pack. I have Ravovac batteries that still had years on the date. I have had some Panasonic batteries do similar things.
