Duracell Batteries leaking

[Best]

Seems the AA & AAA Duracell batteries etc are no longer what they used to be, as they are leaking & causing damage to whatever they are fitted in. I am stopping buying them.
What batteries are decent lasting & don't leak?

I agree , they are like WB boilers lol, marketed to death and you are sort off brainwashed into thinking they are good, they are both garbage . Only battery's I seem to use these days are the Panasonic ones

Thanks for that link Gas Man. I will try any batteries. Those batteries coincidently I see are coming from my part of the world.
Started using Panasonic (one of their cheapest type) but suspect they won't last long, although they hopefully won't leak.

sorry guys..

What is the difference between an Energizer battery and an Energizer Industrial battery?

This year we evaluated 13 alkaline and 2 lithium batteries. Our test scenarios were based on typical battery usage in toys and in flashlights. Our toy test mimicked an hour a day of continuous play. A second test involved turning a flashlight on for 4 minutes every hour for 8 hours, then leaving it alone for 16 hours. We repeated each test until the batteries were drained.
The two lithium models we tested (Energizer Ultimate Lithium and Energizer Advanced Lithium) outperformed all of the alkaline batteries. But alkalines are far less expensive, and several brands came close to the lithiums in performance. Within the 13 alkaline brands, we saw a fairly wide range of performance, but seven were recommended by Consumer Reports. The top-scoring alkaline battery model--Duracell Quantum--was not significantly different from the high-scoring lithium models, and it costs less than half as much. It's a cheaper option than lithiums for high-drain situations (such as often-used flashlights).
We prefer lithium batteries over alkalines for hard-to-access or infrequently used devices, because of lithium's higher stability (lower "self-discharge" or power loss over time). Unlike alkalines, lithium batteries don't contain a corrosive liquid.

looks like someones holding out on us?
