@RSJB18 posted:I performed a randomized non-scientific study of Duracell, Kirkland, and Energizer batteries today. An assortment of sizes from AAA- C.
Cleaning up some stuff in the basement, the CEO wanted to move a storage bin of my son's old toys to the attic. The box was full of all of his Hess trucks and assorted other battery powered cars. I thought we had removed all of the batteries years ago but we didn't. I would estimate that everything has been sitting for 5-7 years.
Results of the study were mixed but the majority of leakers were Duracell/ Kirkland. Mostly AA's.
Seems to be hit and miss, I have used Kirkland and they all leaked also did not last long. The Duracell seemed to be OK if bought from BJ's from other locations they leaked? Possible fakes?
