NaturalNews.com have exposed Energizer’s ploy to charge 400% more for rechargeable D batteries that merely have AA cores in them.  Energizer E2 Rechargeable Batteries specifically are ones in question.  These batteries provide 2500mAh vs 12000mAh for a standard single use D battery.  Most AA batteries provide 2500mAh+ for both single use or rechargeable.

By comparison, check out the Powerex “D” rechargeable batteries at BetterLifeGoods.com. These batteries have more than 300% more power than the Energizer batteries, and they only cost slightly more! ($15 dollars vs. about $12, for triple the power). They’re also significantly heavier. And you know why they’re heavier? Because they don’t contain a bunch of cheap plastic and air gaps inside!

So make your choice.  I think Energizer has just banged it’s last drum off my shopping list.
