This is 3 Maglites in the past year that have been ruined by Duracell leaking junkie batteries. They must be made in China now days. Never had this problem in 25 years......
time to change the batteries in the fire alarms. had some guaranteed 5 year in storage 9V's in my desk drawer. copyright on the back is from 2013. to the best of my knowledge 2018 minus 2013 = 5. neither battery in the dual pack worked. one had a melted bottom crystalized growth going on. no, i dont have the original sales receipt. 1 of 5 stars.
Bought these sometime in 2018 package said good to 2023. Went to get a few out of the new package and several had leaked. What a mess...had to throw 4 out and few others were below 1.5v so junked them as well. I no longer have the sales receipt nor do I remember where I bought them. This is a first for me. Not impressed at all. Wasted my money.
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.
