Steve Snyder Enterprises has issued a warning that the Sentinel AAD
may not work properly with Duracell batteries. If you jump with a
Sentinel, Snyder urges using some *alkaline or nicad* battery other
than the Duracell.
I urge replacing your Sentinel with an FXC...
The problem (according to Snyder) is that the pickups in the battery
compartment make intermittent contact with the Duracell, so that your
Sentinel may test out OK on the ground but suddenly be left without
battery power at a crucial moment.
Sentinel, Duracell, and FXC are trademarks of various people.
