Customer Reviews:

Works fine. [Posted on 2007-01-18]
Not sure what makes them "Professional" - in fact they work the same as non-professional batteries.

These are reliable for me. [Posted on 2007-11-20]
I use these in two waterproof radios which get lots of usage all week long. Both radios seems to run a long time before their "Low Battery" indicators start flashing. I am satisfied and buying more.

Excellent inexpensive battery [Posted on 2007-12-16]
These batteries are a very good choice for an inexpensive alkaline. Heavy duty batteries are not cost effective because although cheaper, they have a very short run time. To get the best bang for your buck, go for alkalines like these.

The "Procell" designation is basically Duracell's way of marking these batteries as ones intended for industrial applications. They make them as a separate line so they won't directly compete with their consumer lines.

My experience is that these batteries do not last quite as long as the top consumer lines from Duracell and Energizer. However, they are within 10-20% (depending on the application), and are considerably cheaper. So, they are much more cost effective.

Unless you are using them in an application where it is difficult to change the batteries, I recommend going with these instead of spending more.
