Duracell LSD Consistency

[gilly]

Picked up a 4-pack of Duracell AA LSD cells today.

I must say I was pretty amazed when I put them on the multimeter. Every one was exactly 1.309 volts. Now that's consistency.

Are they the ones with white top?

If they're the "White Tops",

and the packaging sez "Made in Japan",

then they are the same as Sanyo Eneloops.


A fine choice, indeed.


Enjoy yer' new "DuraLoops".

Did you get the made in Japan with white top surrounding the +ve button?
Because those are confirmed rebadged eneloops - nicknamed "Dura-Loop".

see Duracell Pre-Charged Rechargeables - Buyer Advisory ...

notice the Duracell shoulder is slightly lower and the +ve button slightly longer than my earlier/older eneloop - dated 06-10.

The DuraLoops are also similarly dated (? - embossed on the clear wrapping, but not in the same format) as "7005"

(note: later eneloops - from about 11/2006 on - called "eneloop-R" (link) in other parts of the world - due to the addition of the "R" - registered trademark sign on the end of the name, are lower shouldered with longer +ve buttons)

White top surrounds -

They are indeed the white topped model. Thanks for the information guys.
