Made in Belgium Rayovac Batteries vs USA Rayovac Batteries - Major Difference

[Kiriakos GR]

At my older article this inducing data of 2023 https://www.ittsb.eu/forum/index.php?topic=2015.0 Fluke Corporation USA, this write a detail this be within the small print.

Their published document this stands for USA Rayovac Batteries only.

From the other hand, I did recently become aware of the business connection between Rayovac and Energizer.   

At YouTube there is a hobbyist from the USA, he does alkaline cells comparisons, with out high dollar equipment.
He did spot performance differences at Rayovac Batteries AA.
Made in Belgium Rayovac Batteries they deliver less energy = smaller run time.

At video footage comments section ... an worker in Belgium, Rayovac factory, he shared the confirmation:
The Rayovac battery from Belgium is the same as the Energizer Max battery from Belgium. it's just another label.

The learning, behind this new article, this is that European consumers, we need having constant awareness about the business world of battery manufacturing world wide.

I am in-favor of battery cells recycling, we now even pay battery recycling fee, at any battery cell purchase.
If new production of batteries this is made due recycled material? This immediately translates, that its battery cell this has lesser capacity to offer.
Some battery makers, they do mention the percentage of added recycled material within its product.
New fact this is battery manufacturing with a combination or a Mix, of pure material with recycled material.

I do not have a problem with this new reality,  us we should accept the fact of reuse products made by recycled materials.
Its illogical us sending products for recycling, and us be in denial to use new products made by recycled materials.

From the other hand, it is unreasonable, the offering of such products this to continue coming at high retail price.    

In conclusion, Rayovac, Energizer and every one else with the title of Battery maker, he should and must, adjusting their pricing policy accordingly.
European union consumers we actually give away our used battery cells, back to industry.
European union consumers we actually contribute at recycling costs.
European union consumers we should enjoy, new products at much lesser pricing than before.

If the Americans does not have yet, batteries recycling factory?  They should build a few.
Additionally all this waste of Alkaline cells just for Christmas decoration, this must stop too.
