Customer Reviews of DURACELL 9 Volt PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery, Pack of 12
Customer Review: NOT TOO GOOD!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased these batteries for the wireless mic at church, but so far the performance is not a good as a copper top. They work "just o.k." but we were hoping for better.
Not sure why they are calling them "professional".........
Comparing the cost and the length of use of these and the others it may work out to the same price. Not sure on this .
Will probably just stick to the copper tops!!!!!!
Customer Review: Low cost, but cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with jetpower. These seem like a killer deal, but the performance is terrible.
About 3 years ago, I bought two packs of 12, one to keep around the house for smoke detectors and other devices, and a pack to use at church in our wireless microphones.
They were okay for the wireless microphones, because forgetting to turn off the mics didn't really test the longevity of them. I'd probably buy them again for that reason + the low price.
But for home use, they just didn't last. Smoke detectors lasted about 4 months before chirping when the batteries were newer. After two years at home (shelf life dated 2011), the remaining batteries were dead. They come with plastic caps attached, so I know they didn't short out and discharge themselves.
Keep in mind, this was quite some time back. Have they improved? Not likely, but possible.
I have a Duracell Ultra in my bedroom smoke detector, it's been in there for about two years and is still running strong. But these ProCells, and my poor experience with AA rechargables from Duracell, have seriously weakened my resolve to buy their brand in the future.
I hope my experience is useful in your decision making process.
Customer Review: Procell deadcell
Summary: 1 Stars
Contrary to purported performance claims, my experience with these batteries has significantly worsened my opinion of Duracell's products. Decades of experience with Everready Energizers - and with other Duracell products (e.g., Coppertops) - show ProCell products to be markedly inferior in performance. Regardless of how long their shelf life may be, they simply haven't performed up to par, much less equally to other Alkaline batteries.
This has just been my experience - over daily use, over many months, with set after set of ProCell AA batteries. Take it for what its' worth.
Customer Review: 9V batteries
Summary: 1 Stars
The batteries when received read 9.54 volts and were installed in a wireless burglar alarm system. After 1 day various zones began to fail. Eventually all zones failed and battery voltage measured was at 8.46 volts. I called Amazon and they will issue a full refund. Cudos to Amazon but be aware of possible shelf life problems with batteries.Procell Alkaline Batteries, 12 Batteries per Pack, 9V (DURPC1604) Category: General Batteries
