I owned Duracell batteries for many years since i was a kid and they work very good. but sometimes I face unexpected leakage that has damaged 2 flashlights so far hopefully that wont happen again. other then that have been pretty good batteries to use. Just keep a eye out for leaking batteries.
I am a photographer I have use Dura Cell Batteries for years, no problem. NOW in the last 12 months the dura cell batteries have leaked into almost every flash, every controller. Something has changed in the quality. I have used my last Duracell ...
Duracell used to be the only brand we bought. In the past few years we have had major leakage issues with the AA and AAA. Sadly, not the quality they used to be. Will not be purchasing these again.
Have found that these batteries do not last any where near as long as the printed date on them. Put the batteries in my CD player (not used very often) and within a few months they are dead, yet the date on then says 2025
I bought these for my TI-83 calculator for school and they seemed to last forever! However, I recently went to change the batteries as they were dead and I find two out of four batteries leaked. So until I found the leak they worked as well as you can expect a battery too!
In the past few years Duracell has gone down hill. They are not really worth the cost when you consider ruining your devices. Case in point a fairly new expensive flashlight, ruined. The batts have a 2022 date on them. Years ago t hen worked fine, but lately they've gone down hill.
