To ensure you get the most from your Duracell batteries, follow these general "DO" and "DON'T" tips for proper battery use and storage: DO - Keep all batteries in a safe place away from children and pets, particularly the smaller sized batteries. DON'T - Remove the battery label, or attempt to take the battery apart, or dispose of in a fire as this may lead to rupture and/or chemical burns. DO - Store batteries, in their original packaging, in a dry place and at normal room temperature until ready to use. DON'T - Attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. This can cause your batteries to overheat or leak. DO - Use the correct size and type of battery specified by the manufacturer of your device. DON'T - Carry batteries loose in your pocket or purse as they may create a safety risk. They can be shorted by contact with metal objects and may leak, overheat or rupture. DO - Replace all used batteries in your device at the same time. Insert batteries properly, with the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals aligned correctly. CAUTION: Some equipment using more than three batteries may appear to work properly even if one battery is inserted incorrectly. DON'T - Mix old and new batteries, batteries of different brands, or batteries of different types (for example heavy duty zinc chloride batteries and alkaline batteries) in the same device as this may cause the batteries to leak.

They're batteries, what's to say!!
Reading the Reviews i am quite disturbed. I buy Duracell Batteries almost exclusively and have never had a problem with them. I work in the Fire/Rescue business and use Duracell products in all of my battery powered firefighting equipment. My helmet light for example, which is exposed to extreme heat, has yet to have a problem, or need a battery replacement. I have been using it for over a year. Extremely Satisfied!
Thank you so much, The batteries arrived in time. Will order other things I need in the future. Its so convenient for me to shop from home, I'm a senior, hard to go shopping alone.
I am very disgusted with the old and the new Duralock batteries and will never buy again!!! On the coldest morning we woke up to no heat, why? because our Duracell AA battery leaked inside our digital thermostat, therefore we had no heat all night. Temp in the house was 50-degrees burr. Thank goodness my husband was able to clean the acid off and we could get the furnace running. I hope we didn't burn up the furnace motor. This is not the first time this has happen with leaking. I had to throw away many items because they couldn't be cleaned. Duracell used to be the best until about 2 years ago. I would not recommend.
Duracell used to guarantee to repair or replace a device damaged by a defective battery, but no more. They will evaluate the consumer complaint, and then make their decision. In other words, no definitive guarantee is provided. I would be wary of these batteries. I have had new batteries leak while still in the package. I have had new batteries read low voltage right out of the package.
Duracell used to be our battery of choice, even paying more for them. In the last year or so, we've had at least 8 instances of new batteries corroding and leaking all over our devices. We lost a NEW big LED flashlight because there was so much leakage we couldn't clean it all out and make it useable. We didn't even get a chance to use the flashlight, just loaded it and set it aside for almost a month when we bought it. I found another leakage in a battery just this morning - it says 2015 for the date. This is unacceptable. What 's happened to your product? They used to be so reliable, but I'm becoming afraid to use them - I don't want to lose more devices. I keep checking them (and we have a lot of battery powered devices - using from AAA to D's) - we're seriously thinking of not buying this brand anymore since the quality has dropped dramatically. Please fix whatever you changed because IT'S NOT WORKING!!!
Duracell restrictions on so called special characters limit my ability to post a properly punctuated review in decent grammar but I shall try anyway. We have happily been using various sizes of Duracell Coppertop alkaline batteries for many years and have never before had any reason to be disappointed with their quality. The other day however our Sony remote control module stopped working and when we opened the battery compartment to replace its two Duracell batteries after about six months of use we found that one of them had leaked causing corrosion damage to both of its battery compartment contacts. This occurred on March ninth in the year two thousand fourteen in spite of the Duracell being labeled with a best before date of March two thousand sixteen. Although I have tried cleaning the affected contacts the remote control module no longer works even with absolutely fresh batteries probably because at least one of the thin connecting wires hidden inside the device has been corroded all the way through. I have had to order a new one at a cost of about fifty dollars Canadian and when it arrives in a few weeks I shall try to send the damaged unit along with the offending battery to Duracell for repair or compensation. It is a sad comment on our times but it seems that a growing number of name brand products with previously excellent reputations are currently suffering a similar decline in quality.
I have been buying Duracell batteries for as long as I have owned my house. I have tried others but always come back to Duracell because of their quality. I placed a battery on my kitchen counter about a week ago to replace a battery in my smoke detector. While I was working around the kitchen today I heard a loud pop and found the battery somehow exploded, the bottom of the battery case can be see to be popped out. I tried to contact Duracell but their web site does not seem to allow for an email to be sent and the phone number on their site only goes to an automated system with no way to speak with anyone. Since this is the serivce that Duracell provides I will have to look to use another battery manufacturer.
I've always been a "find-a-brand-that-works-and-stick-to-it" type of girl. Duracell has ALWAYS been my battery of choice because it USED to always be more reliable and last the longest...especially in electronics. NOW??? Forget it. Ever since they introduced this (insert expletive here) DuraLock "technology", nothing lasts long at all. I used to go for at least 6 months of regular every-day usage of my wireless mouse. Now? Less than a month. First pair of DuraLock batteries I put in my wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer ruined the electronics...certain parts don't work right anymore and it's not due to leakage. LUCKILY, I haven't had any leakage that I have found, but I think it's only because I've had to replace them due to them being dead before they had the opportunity to leak. My daughter's play cash register (which she doesn't even use a lot), doesn't work more than 2 week...and doesn't even work correctly right after installing new ones. And it's NOT a problem with the toy as other batteries make it work right. Duracell REALLY needs to go back to their tried and true formula...not this manure that they're trying to feed us. Luckily, I can still find slightly older batteries (but still good and NON-DuraLock) in some Mom & Pop stores locally. If they don't fix this, I may have to go hopping down the "bunny" trail...
I have come to expect cheap batteries to leak, but When I use a Name Brand like Duracell, I expect it to last without leaking. I used Duracell in my wireless mouse which I use on a regular basis and was Very Unplesently surprised when I first began to experience Low Charge symptems, it had already leaked acid alover the inside of my poor little mouse which had to be put to sleep as a result. I will never buy Duracell again.
