This past week I bought 2 9V Coppertop Duracell, but have been duds, put them on the tester - results - dead. Where can I find a best before date on these useless batteries?
I bought the AAA coppertop batteries because the container indicated they were guaranteed for 10 years. For the extra cost charged for these batteries vs generic brands I expected good quality and durability. These batteries just don't last. I won't buy them again
Since the 70's I sold/used Duracell, they were the best battery and never corroded. Now any time I open a unit with batteries in it for even a reasonably long time, CORROSION and the damage to the unit that corrosion does. I will no longer recommend duracell, they have lost their way (PS: this battery said it was good until 2023)
I thought Duracell batteries were not supposed to leak. But the ones in my desk phone leaked and destroyed the desk phone battery box via corrosion. So I no longer see any reason to pay premium for Duracell products.
Sorry but Duracell was a name I trusted but I can't bring myself to buy another Duracell battery. I have unfortunately had them leak into so many products, damaging them and now I much take the time and post some reviews. Usually I just throw them out including the device on occasions. See the photo showing just one example of a battery that leaked. It was one of three installed the other test as still having a full charge. What can I say but I am utterly sick of it happening over.
All that requires batteries (and I have a ton of those things) have these batteries and they are real good batteries but for one thing ... they leak... I am okay with them leaking a bit. But in one instance, it leaked so bad that it got into the cover of my apple keyboard and prevented it from being opened, no matter how I tried or what I used.
