 A NaturalNews photo investigation reveals that Energizer "D" Rechargeable batteries are no more powerful than common "AA" rechargeable batteries. In fact, an off-the-shelf Energizer "D" rechargeable battery is actually made of a much smaller AA-capacity battery wrapped in a cheap plastic cylinder with air gaps, designed to make it appear physically like a "D" battery while only delivering the performance of an "AA" battery (2500 mAh). Full details are revealed in this NaturalNews Phototour: http://www.NaturalNews.com/PhotoTour_Ene...
The photos, taken by NaturalNews editor Mike Adams, reveal what's really behind the Energizer "D" rechargeable battery: A plastic cylinder, air gaps and a much smaller AA-style battery that only delivers 2500mAh of power. Competing rechargeable "D" batteries on the market deliver a much as 11,000mAh of power and are priced at only slightly more cost than the Energizer "D" battery (which costs approximately 400% more than Energizer's 2500mAH "AA" battery of the same capacity).
Note from the editor: I believe these Energizer "D" rechargeable batteries are deceptively marketed and made to appear to be high-capacity batteries when, in reality, they are nothing more than common AA-capacity batteries inside. I am warning consumers to be aware of this apparent battery deception and to avoid purchasing Energizer rechargeable batteries. Recommend honest brands are Sony, Sanyo and Powerex, all of which are available in much higher capacities than the Energizer "D" battery (at about the same cost).
I believe that rechargeable batteries are an important "green living" technology that can help consumers be less wasteful in their use of valuable earth resources. NiMH batteries can be reused 1,000 times before being thrown away, greatly reducing landfill and the introduction of toxic metals into the environment. Energizer's intentional manufacture and marketing of a "crippled" D battery is hampering the ability of consumers to purchase reliable high-capacity rechargeable "D" batteries. By doing so, the Energizer company is, in my opinion, engaged in practices that are extremely unfriendly to both the environment and consumers.
I believe the Energizer company has a responsibility to consumers to produce an honest line of rechargeable batteries that delivers the power density expected by consumers and implied by the battery's shape and size. But the prettty Energizer label reveals a startling secret inside these "D" batteries: Cheap plastic filler and a "crippled" low-capacity battery inside. It's like buying a Ford F350 truck with a V8 engine inside, then opening the hood and discovering a tiny 4-banger engine hidden inside a fake plastic V8 engine shell.
