Default Re: Varta Batteries - sold at Bunnings.. and maybe other places.

Bunnings used to sell Varta batteries that were gold and blue, and it was hard to kill them. They just lasted forever. Then they stopped selling those and now they are yellow and blue, supposedly Alkaline. These are a poor substitute, and I've kept an eye out for the gold ones to no avail.

And the big brands aren't all they are cracked up to be. Twice, Duracell batteries have failed and leaked in a device, and P&G take forever to settle the claim. Ironically, an original Macintosh from 1984 still had the original Energizer battery inside, and zero leakage...
