Does Duracell actually back the 10 year guarantee?

These batteries are not that leak proof. I heard the ones in my TV remote bubbling last night and I opened the battery compartment to find a clear liquid coming out of the battery. I went to replace the batteries and found most of the ones left in the package had already bulged and crystallized. The expiry date for these batteries are supposed to be 2023 and they were stored at room temperature inside a living room. Does Duracell actually back their 10 year guarantee? I've had Duracell batteries leak before, but I thought these new ones would fair better.
I used to believe their commercials, it was worth to pay premium for batteries that can work in harsh environments, that had to work when you need them most (that flashlight in your car when you are stranded in the middle of nowhere). The ones emergency personnel trust. Etc. Just found my 2 AA Maglite with 2 corroded batteries I can not even remove, then checked, and found: LED lamp with 4 AA corroded batteries Photography Flash unit with 4AA corroded batteries My spare car pack (4AA) 2 corroded. Sharp Home stereo remote 2AA corroded
I can't tell you how many of my items have been victim to leaking Duracell batteries over the past two years. They used to be good but something has changed, I think I will change brands also, sick of this constant problem.
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)
