We the people tend to have faith in what a company has stated about their product,however things like batteries in a gadget is something that is not easily judged for life expectancy, I have experienced cheap batteries and they last just as long as Duracell the most expensive; I feel it is a distrusting thing to collect(extra) money for nothing.
Duracell Batteries with an expiration date of 2023 have ruined 2 book lights and a flashlight )that we’ve discovered so far. These batteries leaked battery acid all over the inside. We have attempted to clean the items, but to no avail. So far I have found two receipts, though I know there are others. I can claim two packages, one AA and one AAA, but that doesn’t buy new lights! I have the ruined batteries, but that doesn’t seem to matter. I am so disappointed in Duracell and in the settlement )or lack of one!”
