   >>> I’ve bought quite a few Duracell batteries from Costco and never had   
   problems until now. The batteries are being stored in a plastic case made for   
   batteries and now in the case randomly I have 5 acidic AA batteries and 3 AAA   
   batteries that are    
   covered in acid. Expiration is either 2028 or 2031.   
      
   In all my years, the only batteries I have had leak were Duracell.   
      
    From what I understand, there are only three manufactures of   
   these type of batteries, so I hold my nose when I buy a knock   
   off hoping they are not Duracell.   
      
   I remember in the Air Force in the 70's opening   
   up fresh boxes of AA batteries from supply and finding   
   them all leaking.  Yes, they were Duracell.   
      
   It could be coincidence though, but I don't think so.
