What is the deal with Procell? There are times when something is "industrial" or "pro", then the charged price is higher. The "family pack" is lower cost or better value. But what is the meaning of Procell in this case? It is for people who use it day in and day out and so Duracell won't charge as much premium (ie lower profit) for these procell?

I went to the duracell website and pulled the spec sheets for the PC1500 and the MN1500 which are the Procell and Coppertop versions and found that specifications and all performance charts (six of them) are identical. You can find them here:http://www1.duracell.com/procell/productdata/# (if the link is removed just google: duracell procell batteries overview)I think they are positioned for different market segments. Consumer or industry. The procells are not retail packed.

Duracell claims that the Procell batteries are charged higher than Coppertops.

It most likely has to do with the cost to produce either supplement. Pricing is ultimately determined by the manufacturer, Now Foods.

I was thinking the same thing. 1 pack is even cheaper if you do autoship. Doesn't make any sense.

I called Duracell directly and found out the the item I purchased was defective. I called the company I made purchase from and explained what Duracell said. I returned the item and was given a full refund. You may want to contact the company that you purchased item from or call Duracell directly. They were great and reassured me they would help me if the company that sold me the product didn't give me a refund. My purchase was new and first time charging. Good Luck!

Don't know about that I do know that the razors are cheaper than the blades.Now that I think about it call their consumer line and ask. They would have the answer and sometimes you get a coupon to try something new.

These AA Duracell Procell's are Alkaline batteries. They are advertised as lasting longer that the regular alkaline Duracell Coppertop; but, by how much, I don't know. Lithium AA's will typically last over twice as long as alkaline AA's in the same electronics.

The two products are made by different companies. Their ingredients are similar. It's up to you to determine which product is best for you. Read everything. I choose Cell Food.

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the product itself. I believe Amazon prices tend to fluctuate day to day, depending on inventory levels. My guess is there are just more of the 1-packs in stock right now, so the prices are set to incentivize customers to purchase that pack size instead of the 2-pack.

Hello: These batteries are the "exact" same types as their normal alkaline "c" cells. The difference is only in the name and these are sold commercially to contractors and tradesman. The mAh rating is 7800 mAh. As I have said before, get the Duracell Alkaline and the Duracell Procell spec sheets from Duracell and you will see they have the same specs.

Ask Wahl..I think they have a different system over there for their electricity but I don't know for sure..I do know for sure.That I love my Wahl..So does my wife, who is a stickler on haircuts..I have gotten my money back several times and did as good as the barber..and I didn't have to drive anywhere, listen to any stories, or pay $16 every 3 weeks..Keep it clean, keep it oiled and keep it in use..Practice makes it perfect..

These are the pro/contractor packs from my understanding. Basic, bulk, no frills packaging for heavy users. So far they seem to have a life span the same as other Duracells in my experience. I have no idea what you might have received, but the units that I got were fine.Here is a link that describes them.http://professional.duracell.com/en/procellHope this helps.

That is what the pricing says. It's a good product so after very careful consideration I would suggest buying one today ....and one tomorrow ....and one the day after that if you want. LMAO

It's the same product. Nordic has told me on the phone that they "double dip" the market by putting out "pro" products for the doctor's offices which are the SAME THING as what you buy in the store and here online. Same items, same potency, different name, more money for Nordic. :)

I did some online research. Maxell 'standard' AA alkaline batteries seem to be rated at about 2250mAh. By comparison, Duracell/Energizer 'standard' batteries seem to be rated at about 2350mAh. (Procell, etc. have higher ratings -- and considerably higher prices.) So, the Maxell's don't quite last as long (95%?), but their price is significantly lower.

I only know what's stated in on line, Dual Ionic Pro Cell. I assumed they made this machine. I love it as well and I use it twice a month. Now that I know how to use it, it works well and saves me a trip to the health food store for a foot detox, $30 per visit.

i got this for my daughter, prepaid is mostly for people with no credit, or people that dont want to be locked into contracts, or people like me for my daughter that dont want to pay too much a month. Its where you get a phone that accepts prepaid, and you buy minutes/data upfront vs paying a bill at the end of a month. like tmobile prepaid 2$ a day unlimited, you buy time online, on the phone or at the store. this works great for us since my daughter is young and i dont want to pay a monthly subscription for her. she uses her phone about 10 times a month, so we only pay 20 a month vs putting her on a plan with a contract that would cost 50-80$ a month. so the phone that is less expensive probably comes with a contract, the prepaid is more because you arent locked into a contract. but you do have to buy the type you are intending to use it for ... a prepaid wont work as a regular contract phone and you cant buy a regular phone to work as a prepaid phone, the phones setting inside will not allow it. also on prepaid....the customer service isnt always as great as it could be. we are pretty happy with our 2 dollar a day plan, she only gets charged on the day she uses it, however if she used it for all 30 days that would be 60$ and i might as well put her on my plan, this works for us bc she dont use it everyday and it saves us money by doing this plan. research some plans to find out what would work for you before deciding to go with prepaid. t mobile has great reception compared to most other prepaid companies, some are REALLY bad that walmart sells

The PRO is cheaper but has the older AimPoint electronics than The Comp series does. Aimpoint claims 50,000 hours of runtime on a battery for the Comp series vs. 30,000 hours for the PRO. Since the main reason I pay more for an AimPoint is for battery life to me it didn't make sense to get the cheaper model with lower battery life. But, hey that's my value judgement. A lot of folks will say the PRO is fine. Either are great products.
