There has got to be some sort of recourse as this is clearly a scam and the Feds would love this one!

I am going to cross examining ever battery i look at from now on.
Amazing how they get away with it, same here mind you, with big companies!!
Thanks fatdog.

Yes I agree with old...anyone dumb enough to pay $12 for a 2600Mah D battery should be picked up by the Fed's, along with their 8 cases of PBR.

I use Duracell - they are pretty good Smile

Energizer probably wouldn't get in any trouble since they advertise with the correct mah rating. I'm sure they figure most consumers don't understand the numbers.

It's sleazy and underhanded but legal. Tap Toes

the battery revealed inside i believe is called a C cell battery, not AA.

car companies, computer manufactures etc. etc. etc. design obsolescence into their products. capitalism. aint it grand.
