Footnotes

NA=Not Available

Please note: Some Duracell alkaline batteries contain the Duracell Power Check™ battery energy gauge which is a small

conductive strip located underneath the PVC battery label that indicates the amount of charge in the battery. It is composed of

minute quantities of conductive materials. Due to the small quantity of materials and their solid form, a health or environmental

risk is unlikely.
