Energizer gets away with AA's as D's
Ricardo Trejo
Quick excerpt from Mike Adams, about his discover on why his "D" batteries were pure suckage:
Why are Energizer "D" batteries so weak? To find out the answer, I decided to take one apart and see what was inside. As this picture reveals, inside the "D" battery is a much smaller battery! The Energizer "D" battery is actually just a cheap plastic shell surrounding a much smaller, low-capacity battery similar in size and capacity to an "AA" battery (2500 mAh).
Looks like Energizer has been looking to pull fasts ones on us! Here's another excerpt on his conspiracy theory as to why Energizer would do such a sneaky thing:
Think about it: The more consumers use rechargeable batteries, the less they repeatedly buy throway alkaline batteries. Energizer only makes money when people keep buying batteries over and over again. Selling a consumer a high-capacity "D" battery that can be used 1,000 times before needing to be replaced simply doesn't make good business sense to the Energizer company. It makes far more money selling inferior "D" rechargeable batteries that don't deliver much power, effectively forcing consumers who want long-lasting "D" batteries to purchase their throwaway alkaline D batteries. Repeat business is good for battery companies, even if it means creating more landfill through the repeated use of disposable batteries.
The man makes a mean argument. You have to read the rest of the article, which can be read here:
