I post here only because I value you and this site too much to not pass on a warning. I will not bring up the issue again.

Notice the expiration date is irrelevant! 2017, 2023 all go bad!
I have noticed the same thing with Duracell. I have had at least 10 Duracell batteries leak in the last couple of years. I think they have some sort of manufacturing problem. They are either unaware of the problem or will not acknowledge it. I'm starting to move to other batteries. I'm trying the Amazon Basics for now, but in my first test (computer mouse) they don't seem to have the life of the Duracells. More testing needed.
