I agree, Duracell seem to be the worst.Some years ago they replaced a 3 D cell Maglight ruined by battery corrosion.

My understanding is that the new nonrechargeable lithiumcells do not leak and corrode. They are pretty expensive but I have them in high value equipment.

     Duracell, who made some disastrously bad cells for a while 
pulled them off the market and has replaced them with batteries 
guaranteed for ten years. We will have to wait. I had problems 
mostly with AA and AAA cells, not so much with  C and D cells and 
9volt batteries. The bad AA cells have two little dimples on the 
negative end. Duracell also sells batteries under the Pro-Cell 
name which are supposed to be for critical use such as smoke 
alarms. I had enough gear ruined by leaking Duracells to worry 
about them a little but am giving these a try. I've also used 
Energizer batteries with good results. I doubt if anyone can 
actually answer your question. I think the only recourse is to 
check battery condition often to make sure there are no leakers. 
I think any battery can leak even of the brand is generally 
reliable.
     FWIW I started using Duracell batteries because they were 
recommended to me years ago by a couple of motion picture sound 
men who used them in Nagra recorders. One said he found that the 
heaviest ones lasted the longest.  However, they were mostly 
interested in capacity rather than shelf life.

Panasonic has a new series of high current rechargeable cells that are said not to corrode... ever.? To date, I have never found any non-rechargeable A, C, D, AA, or AAA cell that does not corrode.? I have batteries, unused, from Costco, under their and regular known brands, that expire post-2000 yet are already exhibiting corrossion, still in their packages.? So far, my bunch of Panasonics are OK.?
