Just a shout out to the pinball collectors. Avoud putting Duracell in your games. I have now had two games where the batteries have died extremely quickly. In the case of one, the battery leaked a bit. In both cases, the batteries were Duracell. One set was rated til 2014 and the other to 2016.

Cheers,
Duane

I heard there are a lot of knock-offs made to look like Duracell:

Duracell has the longest 'non-use' shelf life, however they are not the longest under 'constant use'.  I use energizer myself and have never had a problem... plus they're cheaper.

don't be cheap and get lithium batteries. They last A LONG time and never leak. When they die, they die. That's it.


Retiring soon...
