I buy Duracells from Costco and I've had them leak right in the package within 6 months of purchase. Package says good for 10 years in storage. I contacted Duracell and they wouldn't reply.

That's too bad. They should have responded. Batteries should never leak, especially name brands.

Duracell batteries leak all the time even in their original packaging. Duracell sends coupons for replacements but why have to go through that? These are made in USA. Go figure.

I have a expensive electric telescope and the batteries leaked within 2 months of putting in. I thought the controller was broken so I disassembled it and broke the screen in process.

I have wanted to know this for couple of years now and here it is, thanks.

I buy my batteries from the Dollar Tree. This may have happened from the batteries being in for over 4 years. Funny they still worked. Tyvm for teaching me to do this correctly. I did remember the baking soda prior to the vinegar. Have a blessed day. Hugs 🤗 ❤

Just need to carefully wipe the gunk off the PCB (or whatever it’s called) now with some alcohol. Thanks for this informative video as well.

I stopped buying Duracel years ago because of their leakage issues, I believe that like so many things today they are trading on a past reputation for quality that they no longer live up to, I had to dismantle my label maker in order to clean up the mess because of leaking Duracels and have writen a note to self on the case to "NOT LEAVE BATTERIES IN" . my favourite batteries are Varta or Energizer.

I chose another strategy - just bought (Chinese) 1.5V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries from Ali. 👍 They made their money back long time ago. Remote controls, DMM, not to mention how much more powerful my hair trimmer became. 💪 It seems like an "expensive" investment, until you do the math. Using my phone charger, they have a USB-C or microB plug. Even got a C size battery for my pop's Casio bell alarm clock. Haven't bought batteries in years now. All our flashlights take 18650 cells, just like the new models of hair clippers. Problem fixed - permanently. 😎✌

You might want to keep the batteries out of your device when you’re not using it. Thanks for the comment.

Do you have to neutralize the vinegar after you clean it? I tried using vinegar on a really corroded battery pack and I mean blue corrosion was the color of the battery leak. I didn’t work gloves, unfortunately, but it did not come off. I never use baking soda and water to neutralize the vinegar, though I just use some water and a damp cloth.

You have to be careful to avoid getting any liquid and gunk into the electronics near the terminals being cleaned. Otherwise it may lead to device malfunction due to shorts.

Thanks for commenting.

great. I will add to the solution(s). If your device takes rechargeables (ask the mfg. or read the manual and never guess), you probably will never have corrosion. With flashlights, I do the following: 1. ziploc sliding lock bag; 2. flashlight with batteries not inserted; 3. batteries within a battery holder that holds each battery separately. 4. I used to include alkaline batteries win the plastic battery holder. Now that the household users understand rechargeable batteries, I store rechargeable batteries with the unit. Recently, I had to take apart a 2 meter hand held radio which took a detachable AA battery pack. Corrosion from alkaline batteries had destroyed the battery pack. Carefully, I read the manual. The unit did not take rechargeable batteries. So everything was cleaned up and this time I stored the batteries separately.
