Good news!! Thanks for confirming so here, it may inspire readers that this unlikely solution can work.

Honestly most people ignore this advice, convinced new cells can't possibly be bad; I too thought the same for a far long period of time. Among other reasons, I only buy the more expensive brands (e.g. Energizer) to minimize this, but even among these it happens.
