Duracell Coppertop AA Batteries - 28 Pack

I have purchased and used Duracell batteries all my life on the premise that paying a little extra I could get a quality product. I never had a problem with corrosion ever. Many times batteries would be in use for years without leakage. Then I noticed that Duracell batteries I was using came from China and I also took notice to excessive leaking and corrosion, often when the batteries had only been in use a short time. Often the leaking batteries had dates for shelf life for years. They have not only ruined ordinary flashlights but also expensive cameras, remotes, computer equipment, etc. I will now be changing to another brand any brand will be better than Duracell.

I have tried and tried to continue to use Duracell Pro batteries but have given up. Every box I have purchased 1-2 leak after a couple of months. Storage is in a China drawer with home climate controlled and humidity between 40-45. House temp is set for around 76-77 degrees. Expiration dates are several years out, most recent leakage 2022. The have ruined countless electronic items from remotes to an expensive metal detector. I have been a faithful buyer of these for decades. I have no idea what the manufacturer has done but something has changed for the worse. I will never buy this brand again. I am tired of spending top dollar for a product I never get to use or ruins my equipment. No replacement offered either of damaged equipment.
