PKCELL

PKCELL is a brand of battery owned by Shenzhen PKCELL Battery Co Ltd., founded in 1998 and produces AA, AAA, C, D, rechargeable Ni-Cd / Ni-MH, Lithium-ion rechargeables, 9V batteries, coin batteries, zinc-air hearing aid batteries, and cordless phone batteries. The most common type of PKCELL batteries you will find are "Extra heavy duty" (Zinc-Carbon), of which these PKCELLs manufactured before 2014 have a forest green background with silver 𝙋𝙆𝘾𝙀𝙇𝙇 written on them. PKCELL "Extra heavy duty" PKCELLs from 2014 to today have a blue background, yellow at the positive end, and the K consists of an uppercase I and red lightning bolt. This brand of battery was made famous by DankPods, who found the green ones in a Patreon after-show from October 22, 2020 (the iCoustic iPod Nano 7th gen dock), and said that "If the PKCELLs work, I dedicate my whole life to only using PKCELL battrees." When DankPods turned on the crappy dock, the PKCELLs proceeded to work, and Dank said "AAAH! The P-oh no now I have to use PKCELLs forever." In future DankPods videos, the PKCELLs were placed to the left of the 2007 iMac stand. When the PKCELLs roll off of the iMac stand, DankPods will say "Oh my PKCELL" and put the PKCELL back, spawning a meme of calling any obscure brand of battery a "battree" (see r/battrees on Reddit). DankPods has also put the yellow/blue redesigned PKCELLs next to the OG green ones.
