Ray-O-Vac used to be the cheap competition for Eveready, interesting that they have now been bought out by the latter. When buying Duracells, check where they are made. American-made Duracells (and I think European-made ones) last, but the ones made in China (even with legit Duracell trademarks) wear out in a few days.

[@fffrrraannkk]

I bought a big pack of Rayovac a few years ago because it was a lot cheaper and I just assumed all batteries are basically the same. I was wrong. They were noticeably awful and did not last anywhere near as long as Duracell or Energizer. It's worth it to spend the extra money, or better yet buy rechargeable instead. They have improved quite a bit over the years. Eneloop work pretty well.

[@jhellert1]

I remember the ads for Energizer where the bunny would randomly interrupt ads for other products too. At first he would interrupt Cat Chow commercials but then he would interrupt ads for fake products.

[@drnagol]

Duracell actually used a similar youtube campaign a few months back with the "Ever tried cheese from trees?" advertisements. The battle continues...

[@MarmaladePlan3t]

Good god energiser did that as well they are literally just stealing sh**

[@seansmagee]

Was it a Purina cat food commercial?

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

I remember a few of these happening. You would start out with a commercial, sometimes even an already known one, and then the "Energizer Bunny" would come into it. Very interesting ad campaign. But I still trust Duracell more. Have literally had Energizer flashlights fail when needed, and then switched to Duracell. Would never go back, regardless of silly marketing.

[@XMANIAFLYYY]

They sometimes still make those type of ads from what I know at least.

[@TeeVeeGames]

What made the Energizer Bunny so memorable when they first started using it was that it would "break into" other commercials. The clip you showed alluded to it. It was "escaping" the set. Then same block, another ad would play (for a fake product) that was interrupted by the bunny. It was fairly novel and made the Energizer rabbit iconic in the states. Before that, Energizer used an Australian bodybuilder named Jacko. We were going through an Australian phase at the time.

Duracell probably gives the first responders those batteries for free so they can use it as truthful advertising material. The batteries are almost certainly checked every week, if not every day, so they could probably use the cheapest, crappiest batteries they could buy and still be fine.

[@mjc0961]

Also, the game "Alan Wake" is the absolute worse advertisement for Energizer I've ever seen. The game is full of Energizer batteries that you need to pick up for your flashlight, but they only last a few minutes before dying. Why did Energizer want their name on that? Did they want to look bad? 😂

On the subject of the bunnies...what made the Energizer Bunny stand out, initially, was the marketing campaign showing the E-Bunny breaking into commercials of other, at first, fictional products/brands, and eventually even real products/brands. The E-Bunny doesn't really do that anymore, but I remember talking about this brilliant marketing scheme in my high school marketing class the (school) day after the first E-Bunny commercials were broadcast.

[@peterstickney7608]

Back through the '90s and into the early part of the 21st Century, I was part of Duracell's R&D efforts. - Definitely the second best job I've ever had. The Battery/Packaged Power business is very competitive, and is constantly churning. There's a lot of scrutiny on advertising claims, and various performance characteristics will seesaw back and forth between the manufacturers for superiority. (By the way, validation of claims is done by independant laboratories, although our own work would give us the qualitative results. We would not inform the independants about our results) I'll not get into the technical discussions here, but I'll add a few points - The Private Labels are, for the most part, produced by the Big Three (Now Big Two) on their normal production lines. There's an interesting synergy between batteries and razors - Manufacturing. Processes differ qute a bit, of course, but both markets have a lot of churning, and the ability to manage changes in manufacturing methods and including upgrades requires a particular set of manufacturing skills to be able to quickly and flexibly retool. And, a Bunny Comment - We noted, in the mid-90s, that whenever nergizer came up with a new commercial, our sales increased. Our watchword was "They have better commercials, we have better batteries."

[@maxonmendel5757]

I think Duracell really wins in branding. their batteries just LOOK so premium.

[@kylenorman5250]

Good comment. Now I'm curious what the best job you ever had is lol

@@maxonmendel5757 yeah. Too bad I've never seen a rechargeable Duracell. They probably exist, but I know and use Energizer rechargeable batteries, and since you can recharge those, I don't have to buy more, or look for Duracell rechargeables.

5:29 the difference between carbon batteries and alkaline is that alkaline will supply a substantial amount of current at the same voltage per cell. This means brighter lights, faster photo flash recharging....remember cameras were a thing back then and the electronic photo flashes almost required an alkaline battery. The comparing carbon to alkaline chemistry benefits is similar to comparing Alkaline to Lithium Ion batteries of today.

@@j.andrebest2781 It's definitely worth investigating at least. In my personal experience, I've seen all types of batteries leak, but duracell batteries leak almost 10:1 over other batteries that I've used. Also, when most batteries leak, you get a little corrosion on one end. But with duracell's, I've seen a higher likelihood of dramatic, destructive leaking where the battery ends up deeply caked in place. It would be interesting to run an experiment.

A Duopoly is where there are only 2 sellers or only 2 companies hold at least 80%-90% market share and many buyers (i.e. consumers buying batteries from either Duracell or Energiser. In your case of how PepsiCo and Nabisco own most of the foods you eat would be a Duopoly (assuming their market share is >80%) else they're an oligopoly with other companies coming in distant 3rd and 4th place.

There is a whole story behind the British Ever Ready Electrical Company who sold "Ever Ready" batteries and torches in the UK. They were related to the American Eveready in the early days. They were once dominant and mostly made dry cell zinc carbon batteries. They too were slow to adopt Alkaline technology until it was too late, by which time Duracell stole their thunder.

[@fearofchicke]

To my understanding; the English still refer to a flashlight as a “torch”.

[@Ohboypizzaplanet]

If you Google it there is literally a "Historical" definition and a "British" definition.

"Only two battery companies make up the majority of battery market shares" That would explain the pricing on batteries... gotta love a good Oligopoly

[@bananya6020]

like almost every other industry ever. eventually people just stop caring, so most aging industries that have stagnated are usually oligopolies or monopolies.

[@ian-checkmyaboutsection3961]

But they have a thing on the battery where you can press down on it and see how much juice it has! That makes it sooo worth the price! Who wouldn’t want that?!?

[@TBH_Inc]

Well there are other options that are cheaper, the thing is the cheaper options also are just lower quality and don’t last as long so it’s often not worth getting alternative cheaper options.

[@ywe3]

Battery prices have stagnated when you take into account inflation...

[@VinnyLam]

[@KeepEvery1Guessing]

I used to be a Duracell guy. I lived through all those add campaigns and experienced lots of cheap zinc/carbon batteries through my life. Then a KZbin channel I respect (maybe it was Fran's Lab - I'm not sure) pointed out that while Duracell with "repair or replace" equipment into which one of their batteries leaked, they do, sometimes leak. But the Energizer Max seems never to leak. And the energy is comparable. So that's where I am for now.

Imagine making a video about energizer and not mention how they were behind the *death of over 16,000 people* and never apologized for it. Energizer(Union Carbide) was behind one of the world's worst industrial disasters that claimed the lived of over 16,000 innocent men, women, and children. (Look up "Bhopal Gas Tragedy") On the night of December 2, 1984, an accident at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, released at least 30 tons of a highly toxic gas called methyl isocyanate, as well as a number of other poisonous gases. The pesticide plant was surrounded by shantytowns, leading to more than 600,000 people being exposed to the deadly gas cloud that night. The gases stayed low to the ground, causing victims throats and eyes to burn, inducing nausea, and horrendous deaths. Toxic material remains, and 30 years later, many of those who were exposed to the gas have given birth to physically and mentally disabled children.

[@TheReacTT]

It's not really related. It's the Indian division of Union Carbide that made pesticides that was involved in the Bhopal disaster in 1984. US based Union Carbide sold the battery part of their business 2 years later which means they have been different companies for more than 30 years. I honestly don't see the relevance of your comment regarding this video.

@@TheReacTT it’s related! Union Carbide had to sell Energizer to Purina so as it could afford to pay the fines for the disaster.

[@thetrashmaster1352]

I'm pretty sure it's just North America that says flashlight.

[@thetrashmaster1352]

@Owen Yin Weren't flashlights originally torches that flashed light, like in lighthouses? Torch certainly far predates flashlight since a torch has been used as a word for something that carries light at least since Shakespeare. Meanwhile, the word flashlight only came around once batteries were invented. I think it's the same story as bag vs back pack, capsicum vs bell pepper, aubergine vs egg plant. The newer, American word is the non-unique one, meaning it comes from a country where people don't know the name (due to immigration) so they just describe it.

[@thetrashmaster1352]

@Owen Yin I'm not attempting to bash Americans on the fact Americans use descriptive words rather than unique ones. I'm saying it makes sense that Americans would call a device that flashes light a flashlight. As for torch, I doubt the word wasn't used, a torch is an object that is handheld and emits light. It makes total sense that the business would name their invention a flashlight, but a flashlight is literally an electronic torch. As in, a handheld device that emits light electronically. It makes sense that the British English speaking world would call it a torch because that's what it is. Meanwhile, I guess the US and it's love of patents and intellectual property prefers brand names.
