Huh. . . I must have some sort of obsession with Duracell Batteries. . .anyways, who remembers the old Duracell Batteries that everyone made a big fuss about because you could check how much power was left in them? Y'know, they had these little white dots on either end, and you squeezed the two dots and this little bar would show you how much juice was left in them. Do they still make those? I think we still have one like, in a drawer at our house or something. They didn't last as long as normal batteries....

Sure I remember those...but do you remember the ones that came with the tester built directly into the package? Now THAT was cool. :lol:
Yeah, I still have some AAA one's around here some where. Not sure if they still make them, I only get rechargeable one's now.
iirc they still make those...
and yes I remember them, cheap 10 cent testers :D
...dc voltmeters are better. :P

The Dots are green I have some in my room. :D :P :) :)
I remember the tester dots on the batteries and the tester strip on the package, which you would stick a battery in and squeeze the ends to check how much power was left in them! I think they're still being made today.

I just purchased a package of them last month, so yes. They do still make them.
Good ! nothing worse than picking up dead batteries and/or picking up Acidic-coroded batteries! ow!
I remember I got a battery with a borken tester on it.
Yeah, those things hurt my fingers. I have to use my nails. I remember the tester strips that came with batteries too.
heh, I remember if you left em on the tester for too long and touch the tester, it's hot.... did that many a time :D

I didn't know they still made those. We recently had a bunch of batteries in a bag and we weren't sure if any of them were news ones. Those little tester things would have come in handy.

yea i remember how hard it was to push the buttons with your fingers and hold down long enough for the meter to slowly reach its mark
