AAA Batteries dated 2023 are corroding !

I generally use Duracell for all my battery needs and am pleased with their performance. However the AAA with the 2023 date are corroding at a fast rate. I became aware of this when I went to replace the batteries in one of my flashlights and found them very corroded. When I got my spare batteries I found that the whole box had corroded! I then noticed that both the batteries in the flash light and the box were both 2023. I then checked every thing else that I used AAA's for and found they were all corroding to some degree. I did find one that was dated 2016 and while it was dead, there was no sign of corrosion. So it must just be a problem with the 2023's.
I have an old flashlight that is a display item the Duracell D cell batteries in it have a date on them of Jan.96 that makes them 23 years old !! Not leaking and it still shines bright .
I put 4 new AA batteries in a candle that wasn’t working. The candle went on but a few minutes later I noticed it was no longer lit up. The candle was warm and when I opened the case the batteries were almost too hot to handle. These were new, purchased yesterday at Costco.
Leak ruined my equipment- not an isolated incident

I have had good and bad experiences with Duracell. When they work they work good but when they fail it can get quite ugly. I have had numerous batteries leak and destroy the equipment being used in. My latest was a coast LED flashlight as well as a LED headlamp flashlight. Energizer offers a leak guarantee, but I can't find where Duracell does. I don't see a reason to use something that ruins what you put them in.
