    Your website says that the new Duracell Procell batteries have improved performance over the Duracell Industrial brand that they replace, but I can’t find anywhere a side-by-side comparison of the technical details of the two. I can see that you have the new Procell data sheet on your website, but an archived copy of the Duracell Industrial datasheet that I found via a Google search states the battery performance/life in different terms and it’s hard to draw a direct comparison. Do you have a document that shows a direct comparison of the technical performance of both battery types?

      Hi Sid,
      Sorry to hear that you can’t find a direct comparison of the two cells. Unfortunately, we weren’t given any such document either. Our website is just mirroring the information Procell put out about the new range. You can always try messaging Procell directly at

    Is Procell even made by Duracell anymore? Did the sell the brand name to another company? I just got off the phone with Duracell and the information was not very clear from the operator who was messaging her supervisor. There is a link ( very well hidden) that does take you from the duracell web site to the procell web site but thats not much to go on… coulod have been part of a sales agreement. Very odd how they want to be disassociated when duracell has always been the top brand in pro audio.

      Hi Ray, Procell is the new Industrial division that replaced the Duracell Industrial Range in 2019. We don’t know the ins-and-outs of why they re-branded but Procell are an upgrade to the old Industrial cells. We have only heard good things from our customers who use them (comparing them to the old Duracell Industrial cells)

      Thank you for your comment,
      The Cell Pack team

    Just a potentially interesting fact about Procell industrial batteries:
    Back in 1995 I purchased the Pink Floyd Pulse CD which had a flashing red LED on the spine of the outer sleeve. It was quite a novelty back in the day – how easily we were pleased back then. Needless to say, the LED stopped flashing several years later, I honestly can’t remember when but it was certainly 3 or more years.
    As the trend to have all your CDs out on display on a shelf changed to keeping them in a cupboard – and eventually to stream the music so you didn’t even have to bother finding the thing and risk RSI by pushing the open/close, play and stop buttons on your CD player – my copy of Pulse quitely stayed lifeless in a drawer with other CDs.
    I have taken to playing records, cassettes and CDs again, enjoying the nostalgic experience. Pulse has come out of hiding once again….. but that dead LED started to irritate me so I set about carefully removing the glue holding in the construction inside the outer sleeve so I could gain access to the LED circuit and battery. What should I find? A ProCell Battery showing the ProCell name, Duracell around the collar and Industrial in red writing – expiry date Mar 98. OK the battery was dead, but most significantly…. it hadn’t leaked at all ! Bravo Duracell/Procell ! Pulse is once again pulsing now – OK a regualr copper top installed this time. Let’s see how long it lasts.

      Thank you for the insight JanZ.

      It’s amazing to hear that the battery didn’t leak 20+ years after it’s expiry date!

      Hope the LED keeps pulsing for years to come.
