Only Duracells are so marked.


I'm currently holding a Ray-O-Vac AA cell in my hand that has a "use by"
date. I seem to remember Energizers also being marked.

I think Duracell simply did it first.

That and the 40 for $9 they sell at Costco.

In an emergency, put it on scan, and talk to whoever you can here.

Obviously, I am not going to be able to talk directly to a controller,
but I am thinking I should at least be able to reach overflying
aircraft...

That's my emergency plan too.

Do airliners or other aircraft routinely monitor 121.5?

Just get the local center frequencies from a Low Level chart, and
start making mayday calls.

For those of you who shop at Costco....the house Kirkland
brand of AA batteries is repackaged Duracell. 44 to a "brick".
Quite handy.

I've been buying those for years, never knew they were Duracell.
