These batteries are a very good choice for an inexpensive alkaline. Heavy duty batteries, are not cost effective because although cheaper, they have a very short run time. To get the best bang for your buck, go for alkalines like these.

The "Procell" designation is basically Duracell's way of marking these batteries as ones intended for industrial applications. They make them as a separate line so they won't directly compete with their consumer lines.

My experience is that these batteries do not last quite as long as the top consumer lines from Duracell and Energizer. However, they are within 10-20% (depending on the application), and are considerably cheaper. So, they are much more cost effective.

Unless you are using them in an application where it is difficult to change the batteries, I recommend going with these instead of spending more.

I know of these kind of batteries because when I worked a telemetry floor as a nurse and ICU we used them on the patients' portable monitors. They last long and are great!

2.0 out of 5 stars Over-hyped -- not a good battery, May 21, 2010

This review is from: Duracell Procell AA Batteries, 24-Count (Housewares)

I ordered several boxes of AA and AAA size Duracell Procells because I wanted to replace batteries in many different devices less often. Some are indoor, some are outdoor, all various consumer devices, slow drain and high drain. After going though at least half of them now--at least a couple of dozen since December '09, I can say for sure that they last far less than half the time of any other good quality battery. Copper-top Duracells, Energizer Max, Rayovac Alkaline, etc. all have lasted much longer (in the same devices) in my experience. The Procells I have have a 2016 expiration date, so 'old batteries' isn't the problem. I think these batteries are for professionals/companies who have lots of equipment and have to change batteries often anyway and can't keep track of all of it closely, so that they don't notice how quickly these batteries expire. Anyone that pays attention to run-life and overall cost of replacing batteries wouldn't keep buying these.
