"D" size battery deal

[cj7zrcool]

For you guys that have trail cams, flashlights, radios, etc that use D batteries, this looks like a bargain. $63.99 = 72 batteries @ .889/ea. That's much better than Walmart's Energizer 8-packs @ $10.50 = $1.42/ea including tax.

thats a great deal if they are good and last

That's a great deal, indeed.

Would be interesting to see if they are any good. To bad you cant buy 4 and see if any good before dropping the big bucks.
$60 bucks could be an expensive lesson.
I prefer energizer batteries and if I cant find those will settle for duracell. All others I have tried are junk. My FIL brings us a bunch every year that he gets cheap, they might last 1/10th of the time of energizer or duracell.

I dunno. These say Energizer. I assumed that they are the same as retail Energizers with out the fancy wrapper and packaging.

If that is the case than that would be a great deal.

Batteries are a sore subject with me.

Off topic a bit but was new to me:
I bought some new feeders a month or so ago and they use a lantern type battery or have a convertor for 4 D cell batteries.
While taking these bucket feeders to the lease I grabbed a dead duracell lantern battery out of my truck to use as weight to throw the rope over a tree limb.
After three or four chunks I made it over the tree limb and the lantern-battery flew to pieces when it hit the ground. Is the first time I have ever seen innards of a lantern-battery.

Inside the nice rectangular lantern-battery case were 4 duracell D batteries.

According to Eveready's website, the Industrials spec out the same as the regular ones. It says the date code is 2015 or later. I don't know either. Probably a good deal unless we're overlooking something.

Just did some research and found the same results. Get to eat my words again.

Supposidly the same battery but is not packaged for retail but for business use. One website I found had 72 for $69.99. Different website makes you get and account before they show the price.


Great find cj7zrcool

I noticed they have Pro Duracell's as well. Wish there was to find out if these were legit and not rejects or black market etc. With 6 camera's going as of next weekend all running D cells, could sure save few bucks.
