For some years now I've been avoiding Duracell batteries. They were always my choice, but in probably the last 5-6 years they have started to leak, especially when fitted to clocks, remotes and the like. I thought I had rid my world of Duracells but found these recently. Duracells used to be marketed as leakproof batteries, when they were good. Sadly they now do this:-
Now, in fairness, the only ones I've had leak are the AAs (or whatever MN number Duracell have). I've had remotes, cameras, all sorts of things leaked into to the point that I advise people to use another brand.
They don't have to be depleted but let's face it, who replaces their remote batteries before they stop working. At the point they are finished, they are generally found to be leaking.
When I first found this I googled it and found loads of people having the same problem. I also enquired in my wholesalers who said the Pro range weren't affected, my experience was the opposite. Fake batteries were also mentioned on the web.
