[ARC5] Batteries That Do Not Corrode?

[Richard Knoppow]

    Your Costco batteries are probably Kirkland brand. These 
AFAIK are Duracell and have the same problems Duracell did. I 
don't think Costco is selling their house brand at the moment but 
do have the new Duracells. My leaky Kirkland AA cells had the 
same two little dimples on the negative end. Check yours and see.
    I have not heard what happened at Duracell but their AA and 
AAA cells were failing and leaking within weeks of manufacture. 
If they have solved this and are back to their old quality they 
would be fine. But, any Kirkland or Duracell AA and AAA cells 
made up to maybe a year ago should be dumped or taken back for a 
refund.
     I don't think I've used many Panasonic batteries but those I 
did seem to be fine.
