If there were any need for more evidence of why not to buy Duracells these days, here is one that I removed today from a friend's unopened packet of 10 AA cells with a use by date of March 2024. The other 9 showed no obvious signs of corrosion, but they went straight into the garbage can nonetheless: |

It's just like when I needed a new lantern battery a few months ago. Lots of choices, lots of different prices. However one glance at them showed that that they all came out of the same Chinese factory, therefore all identical. |

It reminds me of the time I changed the batteries on my parents doorbell, around a month in service and they started to leak and died. Luckily it was caught just in time as the chemicals had just began to make contact with the battery contacts in the doorbell. |
