Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new
vxx@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoWeird that you mention Panasonic, because that’s the brand I noticed it first with.
The Panasonic cells that come with a device are usually garbage, also the stuff you get on flee markets and cheap packages on the Internet.
They apparently have cells that hold up and weight noticeably more.
For the standard sizes like AAA, AA and D cells there’s only Duracell for me. They’re still miles ahead of their competitors.

It’s my first time getting name brand in a while, but it’s possible it’s like OEM tires, where the tires that come with your car don’t have as much tread as a new tire you bought yourself, even of the same model.

Exactly. They don’t want to provide them at all, but customers would get furious, so they cheap out as much as they can.
