 |
|
Hi,
Has anyone else experienced an increase of Durocell batteries leaking
in devices in the last couple years. I've used them for years in
test equipment, cameras, and high dollar radios because they didn't
leak. Can't say that no more. So far I had them leak in a couple
small Mag flashlights, my PDA device, and my GPS. A little further
back they done in my red/white lens aviation flash light also. I
never used to have a problem with them. They cost more than ever
today and appear to leak more, is there a relationship here. I never
recharge them.
Darn, I just looked behind me at a package to see if I had spelled
the name right, and found another one of a few I had sitting their
has leaked. Crap.... Might they relabeling Rayovac's. What is
different with these batteries selling now?

Following Bob's report on the quality of alkaline batteries from Dollar General several years ago, I've been using them exclusively. Never had the problem you're experiencing with a single one and they're half the price of the major brands, typically 20 for $5.

Confirming an increased rate in the Duracell batteries, AA and AAA
purchased at Costco in large quantity packs in the last 36 months.

I do not know if they still do but Duracell used to make the Ray o Vac alkaline batteries. Ran them down the same assembly line just put a different cover on them.
If you are buying them in bulk from Costco you might want to check the dates they could be really old.
