Batteries leaking

[Big Jim]

Has anyone else here had trouble with Duracell and Energizer batteries leaking looking before their expiration date? To me it seems to be a huge problem and mine are always in a controlled temperature controlled home.

I have been lucky to not experience anything like that with either manufacturer. But everyone's mileage varies...............

I think given enough time they will all leak. That said, the cheaper stuff is a lot more prone to do so. Makes me wonder about the Duracells that tout a 10 year life span! Guessing that the push toward battery powered cars will bring major improvements.

I have less leaking from run of the mill batteries than the so-called top of the line Duracell & Energizers. One leaker had a 2027 date! It has gotten so bad that I take the batteries out of everything. And, the leaking has included watch type batteries.

Not had any visibly leaking; just have had a surprising number failing.

In the last two years, I've ruined a couple of Mag-Lites using Duracell. I now make sure I use Energizer exclusively, and haven't had any issues.

I have some small "EverBrite" LED lights I got on Amazon which I replaced the 3 aaa cells with Duracell 10 year rated (Mar 2030). So far so good. I've had/seen more problems with cheap stuff. When you start ruining Mag-Lites at 20-30 bucks a pop it is irritating and expensive! Have you contacted the manufacturer to see if they would give you any satisfaction? First time I have problems, I will do just that!

It might prove interesting to see if the location of manufacture has changed!

Energizers that I bought recently for the CO monitor appear to be from Canada. All probably part of the vast Canadian conspiracy to collapse our battery based existence prior to their invasion from the north.

OMG! You'll have to learn to say "Eh" after every sentence.

Take off, ehh! Before I start playing Ann Murray and put mayo on your fries.

Yes, I did give Duracell a call, but, just got a run-around saying that needed to keep them in a cool dry place. Well, the house is kept at a constant comfortable temperature and they still wind up leaking. Like I said, even fairly new batteries leak.

Odd that they weren't more concerned about your problem! I have several lights with Duracells in them. No problems to date. If I do have any I will post back here, and they (Duracell) will definitely hear about it.

I did some snooping via Google.....Looks like some Duracell are made in the Us and some in China:

Next question: Where were the ones that leaked made?

Just looked at the AAA's in my mini LED lights and they are stamped: "assembled in USA".

[Big Jim]

I have thrown all of these types away without looking at where they were made.
