Sorry, Duracell. You've lost a customer. For years I've used Duracell AA and AAA batteries in remote controls for my Home Automation system. There are about 15 identical remotes throughout the house, each using 4 AAA cells and performing the same HA jobs.

Because of cell leakage problems, I've been slowly switching brands (maintaining the same
brand in each remote and using only new batteries) as needed and learned that every leaking cell has been a Duracell. Identical remotes, batteries switched as soon as remote operation began to fail, but very different results.

I feel that my old standby brand has failed me.It's disappointing.

I always purchase the Duracell batteries made in the USA. I have purchased Duracell batteries made over seas once. I will never do this again, they are unreliable. I have never had a problem with any Duracell battery made in the USA in any of my camera flashes or my remotes or in my sons XBox controllers.

Unreliable battery, goes dead quickly.
I will not purchase them again.
The Energizer last much longer in the same device.
Buyer beware.

No expiration date imprint...lack the power to power my CB hand held transmitting radio. Works O.K. in weaker items.

Good prompt service as usual.
