Bunny scam

September 1st, 2009 by Bryan

Thanks to a tip from a good friend named AceOP I present to you the tastiest of battery scams.  Thinking of dropping the disposable battery? About time.  Just be on the lookout for wolves in goat costumes.  Or better yet, crap in a shiny wrapper.

Have a quick looksy at what this author found when he noticed his new D cell rechargeable from Energizer was not living up to it’s fat roots.   He mentions another brand to try, named Powerex, which I haven’t seen locally.  But a friend recommended Sanyo’s Eneloops and after reading this great in-depth review I’ll be stopping off at Costco to pick up a few sets.  We’ve been using energizer AA’s for as long as I can remember and they’ve just plain sucked. Always dead when you need them…  Any how, as the kids age, our battery usage should start peaking and fortunately we now have a practical option on the table.

    I agree with you that bunny was a big time scam. The Sanyo’s Eneloops features: very low self-discharge rate, one can charge it any time, you can store it until you needed it, and then use them as much as you like which makes the Energizer like a piece of crap.

    I could be dreaming in techno-color but is there such a thing as a mercury free rechargeable battery on the market?
