There’s been a dead Rayovac battery sitting on my desk next to my keyboard since it died inside of my wireless mouse and I replaced it with working batteries about a week ago. Anyways, I’ve been really slowly picking the sticker off of it and just now decided to completely peel it off. Well, to my surprise, I began to notice writing below the existing sticker as I was peeling it off. Once I got it completely peeled off I realized something: The sticker with the current silver, blue, and black Rayovac color scheme and battery slogan that read “Rayovac Maximum Plus” and had the date “Dec 2009″ was covering an older copper and black colored label with no date. Now, there could certainly be some sort of recharging capabilities that they have (without removing the label and taking it apart?) that I might not be aware of, but it sure looks to me like this battery was old, unused, and relabeled to resell as a newer line of batteries. For anyone who doesn’t believe me or is just curious, I’ve attached a picture of it for your viewing pleasure.
