Notes:

These were one of the first cells that I ever tested, back in May 2012. The specimen was bought from Technopolis - Mladost, their results are acceptable at ~2100 mAh. In comparison, a year later I bought the same model from Technopolis - The Mall, this time priced slightly more (€2.85), and had the expiry date one year later (03-2019). The new ones performed worse, clocking around 1980 mAh. To summarize, all Duracell-related models that were tested here are as follows:

• Duracell Basic - tested May 2012 - 2100 mAh @ 4.96V
• Duracell Basic - tested June 2013 - 1980 mAh @ 5.06V
• Duracell Procell - 1900 mAh @ 5.02V
• Duracell Coppertop USA - 2440 mAh @ 5.00V
• Duracell Ultra Power (swiss) - 2320 mAh @ 5.08V
