Your "logic" is impeccable.
Ikea batteries went sour
Hi
For many years i used IKEA "AA" batteries (made in GERMANY!)in my portables and remotes.They used to blew away Duracells and the rest and for the price of $1=99 for a 10 pack it was the best deal out there and lasted me 1 week to 10 days with everyday use of 4 hours.On my recent trip to IKEA i bought 10 10-packs as usual but on my evening 2 hour commute to work i noticed a low battery warning on my discman after just one disc.I couldn,t beleive my eyes and the next day the same thing happened with a new pair.I pulled them out and after closer inspection noticed that Made in Germany tag was replaced with Made in China one.
No surprises here.After that I will give China another 10 years to catch up on quality control before i splurge on a blue-lit Shanling or a pair of VR 4jrs.
