Yet another Chinese fake
A really bad news fake which surfaced here were fake Duracell AA and AAA batteries. Many people fitted these in fairly expensive items (like a wireless alarm device) to find they began leaking badly within a few months
The fakes were indistinguishable from the original and were being sold at street markets. It took Customs and Excise several years to arrest one importer. By then the damage had been done and Duracell, which hitherto had been a dependable brand, lost a great deal of market share
It should have been obvious to consumers that there should have been a specific reason that a known brand of battery was suddenly available at a 60% discount. I have seen batteries sitting in the sun, leaking in the wrapper
