Us regular consumers, and even the group of highly trained engineers, we all trying to obtain trust in favor of battery products.
Every few years, a brand battery distributor or battery maker, he will throw at our face marketing hypes and datasheet, of their leading technology in use.
Also in the past five years, there is a new Web design building approach, use of largest pictures, use of largest fonts, too much created visual impression, but with much less analytical information's for its actual product.
In conclusion, we cannot see the actual size of the company this be behind of a web site.
According my pack of thoughts, the greater an company this is, the greater is their responsibility at the supply of rechargeable batteries with stable performance.

Today I did discover at AMAZON an product review of a German consumer with name and surname, he got 20 ANSMANN 9V NiMH rechargeable, and fifteen of them, these were defects, and that man he switched to VARTA NiMH, and he found acceptable quality and working products.

My own brain this is now loaded with negative thoughts, in the past three years, I tried three times to get in contact with ANSMANN AG due email, and no one bothered to answer back.
Today I did visited VARTA AG website, and I came across of their Revenue report.
This company has an revenue cycle at EUR 793.2 million at 2024.

And the tiny ANSMANN AG this is struggling with 71.5 million revenue at 2023, and it revenue this shrinks down its year.

I never thought that I should start thinking as accountant, so to become able to see the truth.
Lesson learned, I will never become a customer again of a small and unreliable brand, just because they have an office over European soil.
Any company or brand, this hiding their Revenue reports, this is a suspect in my eyes.
Every one in European union he can start a business at trading Chinese cells.
Unfortunately for the very small ones, they do not have the money to obtain REAL Certifications, and qualifying test reports in yearly base, as reinsurance that their imports, these are products clean of defects.

On behalf of the Greek consumers I do thank you.
No one else over the internet has the balls, him to speak the truth as you do.
No sugar, no diplomacy, just facts.
