[ARC5] Battery Report

[John Watkins]

I have found both Duracell’s and Kirkland batteries at COSCO still in the package leaking.  Pointed it out to the folks there and the pulled all of them.  Contacted Duracell about some of their batteries and never got a reply.  My answer to them is that I don’t buy any of their product and spread the word.
