Are Duracell the worst batteries on the market?

oneweb

Every bloody time I take batteries out of something, there's at least one Duracell battery that's leaked. Not since the feckin' 80s have I seen such crap.

Duracell Simply, Duracell Plus, Duracell Optimum, Duracell Super-Duper. Just gimme a battery that DOESN'T LEAK, ffs 🤬

They've followed the trend of relying on customers buying for the brand name and dropping the quality completely.

I don't know about the worst but have you tried those kodak batteries from Dealz? They barely have the strength to stay upright in the packaging.

They all leak, just not as badly as they did years ago.

Just check them periodically, like you’re supposed to.

edit* I’ll give another vote to the Kodak batts, utter rubbish.

I was looking for an apt description for those batteries - I shall be plagiarising your excellent and very correct description 😂
