    How long do NiCd batteries last?

    Another good example for the longevity of NiCd batteries are the Sanyo KR-5000DEL D size rechargeables with 5000mAh Around ~25 years old, used very often and not always treated very well... still getting 4500mAh out of them at 5A.

    Duracell AA Ultra Lithium - genuine?

So it seems they are original and were only available outside the USA for a short time. The funny thing is, that they accept recharging. I charged both empty cells with 100mA...
