[Milsurplus] Copper Top Battries

[John Vendely]

Yup, I've had this problem with Duracell batteries recently, as have a 
couple other people I know.  In my case, at least, the problem occurred 
only after the battery had discharged, but it occurred quite rapidly.  
Whatever Chinese factory is now producing Duracell products has 
evidently decided to chintz on quality.  That Duracell batteries should 
be garnering a reputation for leakage is is ironic, considering that the 
original manufacturer of the Duracell product line, P.R. Mallory, & Co., 
famously pioneered the metal-clad, leak-proof battery...

They leaked and even ate some of the plastic case.  Also ate the contacts, so have to figure a repair for those.  Date on the package says best before 2023, so they are new.
