Can't open the package or they die

I am so tired of these batteries that are left in the open package dying before I get the chance to use them. You used to be able to buy a multi pack and have the rest available. Every time I go back to the open package to get batteries to replace ones that have been used up in a device, the ones in the package are dead. This has happened so many times I am furious. The ones I just attempted to use say December 2025 and it is currently Dec 2017. The package says "Guaranteed for 10 years in storage." They are in a dry drawer at room temperature, in their original packaing with the plastic case snapped shut. So I just lost 7 batteries I paid for! this has happened numerous times and I am quite tired of it. The ones in the device last pretty good. But I want to be able to have ones on hand to use!
Duracell batteries NEVER used to leak! Now they are giving their nearest competitor a challenge for the worst batteries ever. Duracell,l if you are monitoring you need to figure out what the problem is. Your reputation is ruined!
I used to always buy Duracell batteries, but in the last 3-4 years I have lost 3 expensive flash lights and 4 or 5 cheap flash lights and a awesome remote control for a stereo receiver that could control multiple equipment and is no longer available. They just leak and corrode. I don't usually leave reviews but I am disappointed in the quality of late.
AA batteries in 2 wall clock leak in a month. Also, D batteries in a flashlight leaked and destroyed it. Same problem in a radio and digital weather station.
I purchased 4 new batteries and all 4 batteries were dead according to the Pulse Load Multi-Battery Tester. The batteries were installed in smoke alarms and failed after 24-hours. The number on the bottom of all 4 batteries is 7187 A967.
Duracell has always been my battery of choice and on yesterday (11/26/17), when after all these years, I had to finally replace the batteries in Mr. Talking Mailbox, I was super surprised to see that the batteries were still in excellent condition, not an ounce of corrosion. It was simply amazing! My daughter was 5 years old when I bought this christmas decor; she is now 23. This is the 1st time we've ever changed his batteries. The mailbox batteries are used often during the season, as it activates conversation anytime someone comes near it or the wind blows hard. Note: I did have a pair of Energizer batteries in my kitchen drawer, but they could not be used, as they had lots of corrosion and these were new batteries never used. Hmmmm, I guess that's why Duracell is my battery of choice. My husband must have bought the Energizers. LOL! We've replaced Mr. Mailbox with new Duracell's: Exp 2027, but I think they will most likely out last that time period as well. I guess when my grandchildren are 25, he will once again need to have his batteries replaced.Thank you Duracell! (i've attached pictures for proof)
