Leaked in Package

After less than 5 years, the AAA coppertops I purchased, leaked a white crystaline substance in their package. It was a package of 20 from which 4 cells had been removed. It's hard to tell exactly how many of the 16 batteries still in the package had leaked, but the crystals were everywhere in the package. The package was kept in a catch-all drawer in my kitchen. No extremes of temperature there.
These batteries that are advertised as being good for a long time end up leaking into everything. I have had to check all my equipment to see what ones have been ruined by these batteries.
Beware, they leak. But to be fair, Energizer batteries also leak. So do the Kirkland Signature batteries from Costco. I go through a lot of batteries in kids' toys and also bicycle lights. I always buy batteries in bulk from Costco, and sometimes they leak while they are in the original package.
To be fair I don't remember when I bought these batteries but they claim to be good until 2024 and have spent their entire existence inside my air conditioned home. I have 7 AAA's that won't work in a TV remote. There are 4 still working batteries that came out of the box but the last unused 7 were DOA. The rest of the batteries worked as expected over the past year(s).
I bought these batteries for a keyboard 3 days ago, and on the packaging the batteries claimed to last up to 10 years. After 3 days, the batteries ran dry, and my keyboard was dead. This means the batteries' life was about 0.0008219178% of the promised battery life. Will probably not buy these again .
Date 2022, here in 2018, they're already having horrid problems.
Not having great success lately with Duracell Coppertop batteries.
These totally messed up our laptop cushion (to drive the USB LED Light that can plug into the top of the cushion), used in air conditioned, well temperature controlled, house. So, I would not have expected this to happen in the least!
I bought these specifically to use in things that won't have batteries changed in a hurry.
used AA batteries (takes 2) in my camera for one day, about 4 shots and got 'exhausted' message and no more use....expiry Mar 2027. Never had this problem before......odd!
