Anyone know about VARTA bats?

I just found some VARTA batteries at the 99 cent store.

They are made in Germany. Does anyone know anything about
them?

LL,
I used Varta products when I was stationed in Italy. The quality is as good as Eveready & Dura-Cell, as info the Varta 12volt I had in my 1974 BMW was in the car when new and was sold with the car 5 years later. It's a German Co. with an excellent reputation. Parts Express carries their products as do many others. Hope that helps,
Mike

I've used Varta's before and consider them a high quality battery. If the Varta's at the 99 cent store are fresh and haven't been damaged, I'd have no problem grabbing them for serious use.

I use them since i got my first surefire 2 years ago. I cant see any difference to the surefire batteries.

Unfortunately they are mostly available around me at camera stores where they are extremeley overpriced. They can claim they are exotic imports when they are just imports.
