About a year ago, I bought multiple 10-packs of Duracell batteries with an expiration date of 2032, trusting in the brand’s reputation for quality and long-lasting power. I paid significantly more than I would have for other battery brands, expecting premium performance and reliability. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Despite storing and using them properly, several of these batteries have already leaked. They’ve damaged three of my electronic devices so far, and I’m afraid even more will follow. These batteries weren’t in storage for years or forgotten in a drawer—they were actively in use. The idea that batteries only leak after a long time in unused devices clearly doesn’t apply here.
I’m extremely disappointed and concerned. I still have many unused batteries from the same purchase, and now I don’t even want to use them for fear of further damage. How can I trust a brand that allows this to happen with supposedly high-quality batteries?
Duracell needs to take responsibility. I demand an explanation and compensation for the damaged devices. It's unacceptable to charge a premium and then deliver such poor quality.

I purchased a Duracell 2025 (2-pack) battery for my car remote, but unfortunately, neither of them worked. I tried multiple times, removing and reinserting them, but the remote still wouldn’t function. To make sure the issue wasn’t with my remote, I tested the batteries in other devices, only to re...
I used Duracell batteries in a small light fixture near my TV, and to my shock, one of the batteries exploded. As a result, my TV stand now has visible marks, and my television screen is half-black and no longer functional. This incident has caused significant damage to both my furniture and electr...
