Buying genuine batteries is incredibly important as it means you are getting quality batteries that work the way they should; and you’re at less risk of any accidents or damage. There has been an increase of Duracell batteries being sold loose in plastic tubs. Unfortunately, you would have no way of telling if these batteries are genuine, brand new or have been partly used. Note that brand new, genuine batteries from Duracell are sealed in genuine Duracell packaging.
