Guranteed to leak

I do not normally write online reviews but decided to in this case to warn people of the almost 100 percent probability that the Duracell AA or AAA will leak. In browsing thru the existing reviews it is apparent that I am not the only one to have issues with these batteries. The C and D batteries do not seem to have the same problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Leaky Mess
on August 13, 2011
Posted by: George

I have come to expect cheap batteries to leak, but When I use a Name Brand like Duracell, I expect it to last without leaking. I used Duracell in my wireless mouse which I use on a regular basis and was Very Unplesently surprised when I first began to experience Low Charge symptems, it had already leaked acid alover the inside of my poor little mouse which had to be put to sleep as a result. I will never buy Duracell again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DuraLock has ruined your reputation
on January 25, 2013
Posted by: Centaurette

I've always been a "find-a-brand-that-works-and-stick-to-it" type of girl. Duracell has ALWAYS been my battery of choice because it USED to always be more reliable and last the longest...especially in electronics. NOW??? Forget it.
Ever since they introduced this (insert expletive here) DuraLock "technology", nothing lasts long at all. I used to go for at least 6 months of regular every-day usage of my wireless mouse. Now? Less than a month. First pair of DuraLock batteries I put in my wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer ruined the electronics...certain parts don't work right anymore and it's not due to leakage. LUCKILY, I haven't had any leakage that I have found, but I think it's only because I've had to replace them due to them being dead before they had the opportunity to leak.
My daughter's play cash register (which she doesn't even use a lot), doesn't work more than 2 week...and doesn't even work correctly right after installing new ones. And it's NOT a problem with the toy as other batteries make it work right.
Duracell REALLY needs to go back to their tried and true formula...not this manure that they're trying to feed us. Luckily, I can still find slightly older batteries (but still good and NON-DuraLock) in some Mom & Pop stores locally.
If they don't fix this, I may have to go hopping down the "bunny" trail...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The criteria for the review makes it hard, but after four failures in the last two months, I will never purchase them again.

These batteries Leak !!!

I have now had two quality torches destroyed through Duracell battery leakage. Just used in a domestic environment so nothing extreme. Looking at the other reviews here it seems that I am not alone. This brand used to have a reputation for quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product leaked after two months in flash
on December 26, 2011
Posted by: NikonTom
from New Hampshire
This product leaked and destroyed a 300 dollar electronic flash unit. The date on the battery was 2016 (leak occurred in 2011). These batteries were never even used. They were inserted in the flash, the flash was tested, turned off and stored. Two months later the Nikon sb 600 is useless. I can't recommend these batteries for use in anything but a throw away product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
