high end Duracell

This has become an oxymoron in the last few decades.

Bought out by berkshire hathaway in 2016 and they've been absolute garbage since then. I haven't bought them for years, they aren't worth anything.

Yeah I just threw out half of a 30 pack of procells because they look like this. Expiry date is next year.

Now that I think about it, that’s about when I switched to energizer. Were they owned by berk?

[-] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Energizer is not owned by berkshire.

That explains a lot. The last package of Duracell batteries I bought all died before their expiration date. Store-brand is better than that.
