Do some Duracell Batteries come with an insulating "protector" over the negative end?

Yes. If you look up Duracell Copper top C Alkaline Batteries 1.5 volt specifies that they have insulating protectors. Hope that helps.Laurie

Duracell batteries have ruined a LOT of items in my home....candles, wall hangings, flashlights...kids toys.I did NOT leave the batteries in for years....it took less than on year for them to leak.......!! Will NOT bebuying anymore Duracell batteries.

No but they cold be added. Since it sits under the battery in a confined space, in my case there is no need.

Yes. My two units came with batteries enclosed. Be sure to always use the enclosed charger.

I have had no problems with mine working on duracell batteries for a very long time, as long as a year, depending on how many bags you seal. I am single so not so many. Nut good luck finding the bags. Reynolds has stopped making them, and the people that have them available are price gouging folks that need them :(

The collar manufacturer, Perimeter, sells a 6 volt battery for this collar. However, this battery is actually 2 CR1/3N 3 volt batteries shrink wrapped together. The CR1/3N batteries are available from Duracell, Energizer, and others and are sold on Amazon. Batteries are installed + side toward opening on collar. The Perimeter battery appears no more expensive than the individual batteries but the individual batteries should be available locally to avoid shipping.

I use the same battery in my unit. There was no plastic wrap on it.. it is really snug in its holder.. I had to really fit it in there and just plug the charger into it..

No idea! I have used these as a cost effective alternative to the Duracell batteries. I find they perform the same as a Duracell with the price drop related to no marketing cost.

I am also looking for the ones with the nipple on the negative side of the battery. Did you happen to find LR44 batteries with them on it? Just that little nipple makes all the difference in the world making this fit into the device. Please let me know, still searching. Thanks

There are little screws on the bottom. One is for the battery compartment, one is not. You can tell by looking at them which you need. :)

Yes, I did receive 4 new batteries but didn't have Duracell packaging. They came in a small bag. But, I have to say they work GREAT! They are NEW!

No, there is over-charge protection built into the battery. With that being said, I still remove my batteries when I see the charge is complete. The 18 month warranty doesn't hurt either :-)

No, comes only with two Duracell batteries. I am using na old brush, and an usual pincel.....

There is no battery cover, so it appears that replacement is not intended by the manufacturer. The unit is held together by a rubber cover that covers top, bottom, and sides. This cover is not trivial to remove, but I didn't try very hard.

Eleanor, normally you would place the batteries in with the negative side first. BUT, that is if they are going in one on top of the other.

I bought some from of these, and other sizes of Duracell, from Amazon, but was not happy with the life of them, they didn't act very fresh. The package should have a date on them from the manufacturer, but you won't know what it is until they arrive at your house. You can put batteries you aren't using in the refridgerator/freezer to extend the life until you need them. I don't buy regular batteries from here anymore.
