Remember Duracell’s PowerCheck? The idea was that a strip built into the battery would show if the battery was good or not. Sure, you could always get a meter or a dedicated battery tester &#…
I never had any issues with them. You can’t expect a real accurate calibration, but it beat trying to find a tester to see if it was a new battery or kaput.
I tried rechargeables in the 90s and was not impressed. I hadn’t realized they are better now. Will have to give them another go. These powercheck strips would still be very applicable to rechargeables too.
We just can’t have nice things
IDK. It never worked that great and TC guy makes a good case why it went away.
The battery industry made rechargeables good instead of decorating disposables.
I remember having to squeeze hard to make the ends contact
I had to squeeze so hard it hurt my fingers. I see no loss here.
