This review is from: Duracell 10210 DL2025B (Electronics)
[Since writing the following, the price has been lowered by 40%. It’s still overpriced, however.]
(This is a hard one to rate. It’s a $2-3 battery performing like it should. The problem is the mis-pricing, which clearly must be an innocent mistake.)
Amazon claims that this dime-sized Duracell 2025 lithium battery has a retail value of $100. Since they’re selling it at close to a 90% discount, and since my Energizer 2025’s have been somewhat disappointing in terms of longevity, I bit.
So what’s the difference between this Duracell battery and the Energizer? Answer: The Duracell costs over 4 times as much as the Energizer.
At first, I considered titling this review “Ripped Off!” and giving the product a single star. I reconsidered and went with Ripley’s. There are far stranger things on earth, Horatio, than paying eleven bucks for a two-dollar battery.
Still, I’m not so much amused as bemused.
