Duracell Batteries, D Size, 8-Count Packages (Pack of 2)

After you factor in gas & mileage, it's a better deal than buying them from the local Sam's Club.

Can't beat this deal. LOTSA battries - wink. Come in very nice plastic containers that close well for future use. Great brand name, I am very happy and will purchase again.

Thanks for reading.

Duracell makes a great battery; and these batteries will show you just how well they are made once you try them. The "Coppertop" version of these D size batteries does indeed last longer than pervious types of D batteries by Duracell. I really like this because I live in a somewhat rural area; and when we get a bad storm the power goes out and I must use these for my flashlight. I always get several hours more use out of these CopperTop Duracell D batteries; and that's grand!

Of course, these D batteries can be used in anything that requires them--not just flashlights. Moreover, the thin cardboard storage pack actually closes neat and clean for you so that the unused batteries remaining inside the package don't get dusty or exposure to any elements if you're outside camping or something.

Use these batteries before their expiration date. The expiration date will always be several years into the future; but some people still have them lying around in a dresser drawer anyway. The problem is not only do they lose their potency; the batteries also begin to corrode. When the batteries corrode eventually a whitish powdery sticky substance begins to leak out of them and this makes a mess--trust me!

Do NOT dispose of these or ever place these in or near a fire. They could indeed explode. I wouldn't carry them loose either--they should be protected in their cardboard case or they should be already installed in your flashlight or whatever device you placed them into.

Overall, these Duracell Coppertop D size batteries are the ones to choose if you need D size batteries. I highly recommend them for any device that needs D size batteries.

Use them in good health and enjoy!
