Batteries for Reliable Performance

Guidelines for Proper Battery Care

• Always use the battery size and type recommended by your device’s manufacturer.
• Keep battery contacts and compartment connections clean by using a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you change batteries.
• Remove batteries from devices during prolonged periods of inactivity. • When using household (AC) power, take out the batteries from the equipment.
• Ensure correct battery insertion by aligning the + (plus) and – (minus) terminals properly.
• Most Duracell® batteries offer reliable performance even after ten years of storage under these conditions. Avoid refrigerating Duracell batteries as it does not extend their lifespan.
• Battery performance diminishes in extreme temperatures, so avoid placing battery-powered devices in excessively warm locations.
• Only attempt to recharge batteries that are explicitly marked as “rechargeable.”
