[ARC5] Battery Report

[Richard Knoppow]

    I think these may still be the old type. I have some recently 
bought AAA, AA, D cells with dates of 2027 and 2028 on them. the 
older AA cells have two little dimples on the negative end, new 
production does not. The leakers were AA and AAA cells, not D 
size. I had leaking and corroded batteries in the box. I am sure 
that Costco Kirkland batteries are custom branded Duracell. In 
the past Duracell were the best but something happened and they 
became unusable.
     I have never seen a problem like this with any other brand. 
I also have used Panasonic and Energizer cells with good results.
