.* Which TOTALLY SUCK, by the way. I don't care how your batteries compare to your own crappy other brand; until you're better than Energizers, I will keep buying Energizers.

Duracells have been crap since the mid-1980's, when Lazer Tag guns with Energizers had about a 50% better rate of fire than Lazer Tag guns with Duracells. Duracells last a good long time in flashlights, but if you want decent current output, use Energizers or anything else.
