    Batteries for moral purposes

    Batteries for moral purposes. I have noticed that manufactures, in particular Duracell and Energizer have reduced the power output of the AA & AAA batteries to such an extent that they will no-longer power my devices after two or three uses (such as blood pressure monitors and suchlike). I have resorted to buying Lithium only. My point is, don’t throw away equipment thinking it’s faulty when in fact it down to poor quality batteries.

    If you're very lucky said cells will leak & destroy said instruments.

    Duracell are famous for it.

      You probably need to acquire a less power hungry vibrator?

        Sounds like dodgy batteries - I used a BP monitor daily for three months and never had to change them. Bog standard ten a penny Amazon ones too.

          The Amazon ones are pretty good they last a long time.

            I tried them in an old BP monitor and a brand new one, they lasted just a few goes. I bought various makes but had similar results however, I bought Lithium AAs from Amazon and no problems, thanks.
