Early failure of Amazon Basics AA alkaline battery

All alkaline eventually will leak. I've switched to Lithium and no leak problems. Catch them on sale every now and again.

found the Ray-o-vac alkaline battery's work well or Harbor freight edge battery are fine also. amazon anything stuff no way.

I had some 9v Amazon batteries, of which about half of them were decent. Several I put into smoke-detectors were chirping within a month.
I'll never buy that brand of battery again. I'll pay for Duracells.

I just use Panasonic blue colored 9v batteries from a dollar store, never an issue and they last.

The ProCell (Duracell) are really good in smoke detectors.

Had a 20 pack of duracell AAA quantum. 15 leaked.....inside the device. Maybe knock offs ?????? They were NOT on sale either, nor expired.

I've read that Duracells are known to leak, as well as the Duracell made Kirkland batteries. I don't use a ton of them, but have experienced them leaking in a smoke detector after many years. I've since switched to Energize Lithium for my smoke detectors.

 

[50yr Street Mech]

Yep, so did I, Lithium in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They never leak.

say what? have you bumped your head?

Duracell is junk! Guaranteed to leak and ruin what ever they are in. Ive had several expensive tools trashed from leaking duracells.
