Duracell batteries

P4-630 · May 8, 2015

A few days ago I ordered duracell batteries, a pack of 24 AA for 15 euros, arrived today.
I found out they are duracell "Duralock" batteries.
But what are the differences between duracell duralock, procell, coppertop and ultra?

Edit: I use them for my wireless xbox360 controller

Duralock: http://www.duracell.com/en-us/innovation/duralock-technology
Ultra: http://professional.duracell.com/en/ultra-power
Procell: http://www.pro.duracell.com/en-us/products/alkaline-battery/duracell-procell
Coppertop: http://www.duracell.com/en-us/products/all-purpose-batteries/duracell-coppertop

Coppertop is their "regular" battery.
Duralock is their "Long life/long storage" battery. It lasts longer when not in use.
The Ultra and Procell's are their "Industrial" batteries. Meant for things like.. well industrial uses obviously, and medical stuff, things like that.

I just buy Coppertops. They've always worked good for me and they're cheaper. Or, rechargeable.

Procell and coppertop are same...consumer grade/ high standards
Durolock are for low power long use devices such as fire alarms..good up to 10 years..
Ultra are for frequent heavy use electronics...

I also saw duracell procell online, they were about the same price, I see they have "long-lasting power", they don't mention that on the duralock page,
should I buy procell next time?

I'd just buy whatever is cheapest, which are usually the Coppertops. But, if you can get what they claim to be a better battery for the same price, go for it.

I buy the procell batteries from Amazon because they end up being cheaper...
I usually buy all my batteries in December because they cost roughly 60% less around Christmas...
I got 48-9v, 100-AA, 48-AAA and 24-C batteries for $50 and odds are I won't need anymore till this December if even then...but I'll probably buy another mega battery gift assortment again just in case of the apocalypse.

Consumer Reports

I buy what's cheapest, like erocker. Your controller isn't going to care so long as it gets >1 volt.

I get there rechargeable battery how ever i avoid their battery charger's or any other fast charge. Better of if you use rechargeable to use slow chargers as this will help the batteries last much longer.

I use a old Memorex charger which is a 8 hour charge and the batteries have lasted 4 years and still going strong.

Why not just buy rechargeable batteries instead? I saved a lot of money buy them instead of regular ones.

The Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit would be the best solution. I have it, works great. Requires two USB ports though (one for the wireless radio and one for charging).

Or just use a hub, then that will save a USB plug. Not sure about everyone else but i running short lol
