The plot thickens...

I saw that image and immediately assumed that Duracell was stealing the pink bunny from Energizer. Turns out that the Energizer bunny was originally a parody of the Duracell bunny, and then Duracell failed to trademark their pink rabbit in North America. So Duracell is actually the real OG bunny owner but Energizer has simply ran with it for longer.

I can’t even find a picture of the Duracell Marathon Man.  I know I’m not making that up.

There could be a slight, slight chance that the marathon dude was made up to symbolize a competitor battery and when it dies the energizer bunny come into screen and “keeps going, and going, and going....”

It may not be Duracell, it could just be to represent a different battery, now that I’m thinking about it..:confused2:

Having insomnia means you watch things like extensive battery showdowns on youtube.  Energizer is better than Duracell.

a rechargable battery.

no really.

i've spent like 15$ for a charger plus 4 batteries like....


....uh. a long ass time ago. as far as i can calcuate, at least 7 years ago. possibly a decade. plus another 8-10 bucks or so for another 4 rechargable batteries of another brand. they're. still. working.

im not sure how many times i've recharged them, but it's definitely been in the multiple dozens of times, and probably hundreds. screw disposable batteries. you save way way more with rechargables in the long run. can probably get them cheaper on amazon too, and i know i've seen them on there in the AAA size as well - probably other types too.

i don't think the brand matters either... but for what it's worth, the two rechargable battery brands i have, ironically are... duracell, and energizer. :rofl:

I buy batteries at Dollar Tree for a dollar for 4 packs of double or triple A's. They suck, but for the money they're better than either of the big brands.

This guy gets it. I have 10 year old rechargeables that are still working just fine. I have some Energizer and some Rayovac, but lately I've been buying the Amazon branded ones as they are cheap and work really well. I have a four year old so batteries are a real commodity around here. I have like 20 AAA and 15 AA batteries and I just keep them in rotation.

Everytime I tried rechargable ones they started lasting for shorter and shorter amounts of time until they only lasted like an hour. Maybe I was just unlucky

must be, mine work perfectly fine. granted, i use them for my mouse, keyboard, and xbox controller, so they don't have super high power usage for the most part, but they often last for weeks to months at a time for the mouse/keyboard, and for days with the controller.

do keep in mind that batteries don't like extremes of temperature, both hot and cold, so don't keep them in a very hot or cold place. it's also best to take them off the charger once they're fully charged up instead of leaving them on there for days or weeks at a time. ideally, you want to charge them up before they're fully drained as well, so if you see the red dot of doom on your device signalling a low charge, swap em out and charge em up! doing so helps maintain the health of your rechargables.

When I was a kid my rechargable didn't last long on my gameboy color. As a. Adult they haven't lasted long on xbox360/ xbox one X controllers. But I Might try some new ones. Who knows maybe the tech has advanced.

lol, gameboy color it didn't matter what kind of battery it was - those things chewed through any kind of battery in a matter of hours it felt like. the system simply was a power hog, same as the original game boy. just was the design of the thing, especially the screen i'd imagine. probably the controllers too, though if you turn off the glowey lights on your controller (if that's an option) that probably helps.

get rechargeable batteries that are lithium ion type also, as those are the highest capacity available. look for something with a high mAh capacity - something with around 1500 is decent, 2000 is very very good. the higher the capacity, the more charge it holds, the longer it lasts. the higher the capacity, the greater it lasts over time as well - all rechargeables slowly lose capacity over time, so a greater starting capacity means more wiggle room to start with. so even an old rechargeable with a 2000 mAh capacity at 50% loss will still have 1000 capacity, which is pretty decent.

My controllers dont have much options. I turn off the vibration in game menus and that helps a bit
