Duracell Optimum Batteries

Gear fails at the battery first. Prepared hunters do not find that out in the dark.

A dead battery is a small problem at home and a real one a mile from the truck.

Before First Light: You click on your headlamp at the trailhead and it answers. The walk to the stand starts on your terms.

Power or Life: A proprietary cathode system can deliver extra power in some devices and extra life in others, compared to Coppertop AAA. Either way, you get more from the same slot.

Spares That Stay Put: The slider pack has a resealable storage tray. Your spares ride together in your pack, not loose in a pocket.

One Size, Many Jobs: Eight AAA cells cover a wide range of devices. Headlamps, remotes, and small electronics all draw from the same pack.

Measured Against Its Own: Duracell compares Optimum to its own Coppertop line. The bar was set in house, then raised.

Load fresh cells before the season, and carry the rest.
