Duracell again, unfortunately!

[NeiljohnUK]

After losing several expensive flashlights and some other electronic gear to leaking Duracells, I swore off them entirely and bought Energizer (the pink, marching bunny) batteries.

Since using them for about two years, I haven't had a single leaker. I eventually used up the remaining Duracells in applications where, if they leaked, they couldn't harm anything and the contacts were easily accessible for restoration with a Dremel.

Buy some Energizers and try them. It's a cheap experiment and I think you'll be pleased.

Energizer even guarantees no leaks...

No Leaks Guarantee | Energizer

I've had both Duracell and Energizers leak, current recovery job is a Mitylite split by Energizers, the mini-maglite was totalled, as was a 6D no-name by Duracell 'industrial' cells within the marked use by date.

Now using GP Ultra's as I've had NONE fail even after the use by date.
