Energizer “D” battery was exposed today at newstarget.com and as you can see in the picture above, the “D” size battery had a smaller battery inside. While some people think it’s an AA size battery packed inside “D” sized shell to make more money, but just by looking I can say it’s definitely bigger than AA battery. Energizer was tagged for ripping off its customers but what I feel is fitting a smaller battery with all those plastics casing inside “D” size battery shell (quite well arranged) will not be cheaper to manufacture so there is no intention of energizer to make more profit by doing this. There must be some technical reasons and battery was giving the same output 1.2v and had 2.5Ah capacity as mentioned on the battery case, so customer is getting nothing less than what he can expect from the battery.

Buying a new TV this festival season? It is the best time as companies give lots of discounts and offers. A handy tip which comes from Consumer Reports’ Annual Product Reliability Survey is that you should now only consider buying LCD or Plasma TV! Why? They are now available in affordable price and they are more reliable than any other type of TV. Especially if you are buying a big TV, consider buying a Plasma or LCD as other technologies like CRT, DLP, projection become very much unreliable when used in making big TV sets. This is very much true as you must have seen big TV requiring more frequent service while those smaller ones just keep on working for years.
