   I have had bad luck with Duracell batteries.  They seem to leak when   
   used in items that are low usage. The emergency flashlight in my bedside   
   table and the batteries in my thermostat for example.  I have had to   
   spend quite a bit of time, off and on, cleaning contacts when I used   
   Duracell.   
      
   Now I always use Energizer batteries.  I have never had any of them   
   leak.
