OUCH & Very Sad - Battery Force

FREE Batteries from Battery Force
... sadly no longer available:eek:
The FREE Batteries promotion from Battery Force was a HUGE success with our customers. Every single calendar day since 25. April 2005, one lucky winner got a pack of four alkaline AA batteries completely free of charge.
Unfortunately, a complaint from one winning participant in February 2010 has forced us to end the promotion. We would have loved to continue the promotion indefinitely, but we simply don't have the capacity to deal with completely unjustified complaints, especially when they are made in such a way as to question our high operating standards in a public forum: We're giving away batteries for free, and in turn a winner tries to damage our outstanding reputation - a sad state of affairs.
The last entry for the promotion was accepted on 18. February 2010, with the last pack of batteries despatched to the winner from our warehouse on 19. February 2010.
