Duracell

This leakage problem has been going on since 2004. It is obvious that duracell does not care about their customers! In 2023, four of ten AA batteries leaked ruining two $30 black light flashlights, a specialty item for finding fluorescent rocks at night. Don't buy this junk! Signed ex-customer

I bought a 48 pack of Duracell AA batteries at Sam's Club in Grand Junction Colorado. The whole package was completely dead. I called Duracell and was told " we don't refund under any circumstance ". I have not purchased a Duracell battery since and I have told everyone I know my experience with Duracell. I doubt anyone I told has purchased a Duracell product...shame on you!

I purchased 2032 3V batteries 8 pack. It shows "Child Secure + bitter coating". I can't get into the package with scissors, knives etc. they not only have the cardboard but each battery is enclosed in an individual plastic casing that is so tight to the batter that I can't get it out without seriously scratching the battery thus causing potential leakage and blowout. I contacted Duracell only to be told that the batteries are set up to be child proof. Child and Adult proof. Then the gave me "storage" instructions. Seriously POOR customer service and support. NOT a fan of Duracell anymore!

I am purchase duracell battery and use just 15 minutes and product seems like full on heat. And wanders not provide satisfied solutions and I west my money and time. Fake product and fake company don't use this type of company product.

Good battery last a while. But 2 stars due to there we use to get 8 in a pack not 6 so bad job. Do better

I used to really like Duracell batteries but lately they are always leaking which ultimately ruins my devices. I have had to replace several items so now I have stopped using them. I even had some that leaked still in the pack years before their expiration date. Done with Duracell!

I have bought Duracell for 30 years. The commercial with the race car and screaming child has made me decide I will by Energizer Batteries from now on so as not to have to deals with that type of advertisement.

I have trusted Duracell copper top batteries for many years. They have been powerful and long lasting. However, within this past year I have had many of the AA and AAA batteries leaking and damaging my devices, even while still providing power. They have leaked in 4 remote controls, a camera, and my aviation headset. When I reset 3 battery operated clocks in November I found that the Duracell's were leaking even though the clocks were still running. I should have given a 1 star rating, because if the battery leaks and ruins a $1000.00 noise canceling headset while still powering it, it is just not acceptable, no matter how powerful they are.

BOUGHT DURCELL BATTERYS FOR YEARS THEN ALL THE SUDDEN I BOUGHT A PACK OF DEFECTIVE BATTERYS AND MY DEER CAMERA EXPLODED ALMOST CAUSED MY HOUSE TO GO ON FIRE! IF I DIDNT CHECK MY CAMERA BEFORE BED MY HOUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON FIRE!
DURCELL CUSTOMER SERIVCE IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER DEALTH WITH! I WILL NEVER EVER BUY NOT ANOTHER BATTERY FROM DURCELL I WILL PAY MORE FOR OTHER BATTERYS! I CANNNOT BELIEVE THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE! TERRIBLE PRODUCT! SADLY I HAD TO RATE IT A 1 BUT DESERVES A 0!

I have had several lately to leak, not old out of date ones. Several just to run down and not w/constant usage. I used to think they were the best. Switched to Energizers. They really suck, a rip off. Used mostly for business.

Not a good battery for longtime storage P O S waste of money must be made in china.
Stay with the energizer bunny.

I live on the east coast of the US where a hurricane just passed. I was without power on and off for 4 days. Cut to the chase, which is why I writing this review. Everyone of my emergency flashlights did NOT work because of battery leakage, in the all 3 of the maglites the damage was so severe I could NOT get the batteries out of the casings and had to properly dispose of these lights at the local dump who handles hazmat material.
The ACR firefly was part of my emergency equipment for my boat. I discovered this; this past summer while out at night when I needed the strobe to signal another boat for help.
But the real biggie was the Weems & Plath clock. W&P would not repair the clock because they said the damage was caused by the leaking DUARCELL battery. W&P offered to replace the internal portion of the clock at a fee of $194 USD.
So all in all DURACELL batteries have cost me $450. I now have removed every DURACELL battery in everything I own, Importantly smoke detectors, CO2 alarms & the home fire system.
And yes I am aware that DURACELL has a damage claims department; however since all damaged devices contain some form of corrosive damage they can NOT be shipped other then by a hazmat carrier. So wtf...
In closing if you have things you depend upon for emergencies I would check them out.

There is no doubt that Duracell offers a great selections of high quality batteries, but their prices can sometimes be very expensive. I still use their alkaline batteries, but for lead-acid, I now use Canbat, which has been great.

Duracell has always been one of my number one choices when it came to alkaline batteries, but man they are super expensive!

This is a 1000 lumen flashlight with three different lighting modes made of high grade aluminum very sturdy well worth the price. It is a Duracell so it's available at several different places

Duracell has good quality, especially in calcium batteries. Lead acid batteries are good too, but better value from other brands

I bought one of their older model 15 minute battery chargers. I wasn't sure if the problem was with the charger, the batteries or the device I was using the batteries in. I tend to think it was the latter. However, after writing them, they quickly responded and I felt they were very fair. My only concern is that I didn't see much improvement in the newer longer lasting AA batteries vs. the standard. Either way, I like their batteries and the charger will just keep charging on.

I started buying rechargeable batteries a few years ago. They were a green color, making it very easy to distinguish between regular and rechargeable batteries. I went to buy some rechargeable ones today, and they are now brown, just like the regular ones. They are very expensive and I refused to buy them because I'm afraid my family will think they are the regular ones and just throw them away! Why would they change the color of them to confuse people? I'll just start buying the Amazon brand. They're half the price.
