"How bad can it be?" I thought. It was bad. I couldn't finish the video. It was like listening to a used-car salesman on amphetamines.

How is it possible that you have never had an alkaline leak? I think about 20-30% of my Duracell batteries have leaked. I too stopped buying Duracell brand about 10-15 years ago. But every now and then, I end up owning some, for example, because they were included in some device that I bought.

I usually try to use them up, to avoid waste. Just a few days ago, I opened up my indoor/outdoor wireless base station, which was using 4xAA Duracells. One of them was leaking, damn it. It was supposed to expire in 2025. There was no "low battery" warning on the base station.

I had to clean off the battery contacts with vinegar. After that, I threw away every last Duracell battery in my inventory.
