Very true !

Could it be the extra load of the solinoid breaking down the contact. The screw caps actually score the cell, on the new handsets much improvement.

The cell voltage warning should have picked this up ?

I too had problems with the older hand sets, please dont let this happen again.

Duracell are not perfect I found a cell with reverced polarity, yes the + was - and the - was + wish I had sent it back might have gave me a hole box for HH use.

Currently useing Duracell "professional" industrial seem to be ok,
