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?
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.
