"Quality gone"
I have had several lately to leak, not old out of date ones. Several just to run down and not w/constant usage. I used to think they were the best. Switched to Energizers. They really suck, a rip off. Used mostly for business.

"Duracell rechargeable AAA batteries don't last as well as other brands…"
Duracell rechargeable AAA batteries don't seem to hold charge well and need recharging much sooner than e.g. Energizer AAA.

They might be vulnerable to overcharging, but if so, they are more vulnerable than other makes I use, such as Energizer and even Amazon's own brand.

I've now had to throw away at least 8 of their AAA rechargeables as more trouble than they're worth.

The only high charging is their price!

"Poor quality, no responsibility"
Bought an auto battery that lasted a year and a half before completely dying. Store refused to honor the "Full 2 Year Warranty" Contacted Duracell. Theyu replied "For all inquiries regarding Duracell SLIU1RT batteries, including questions or compatibility issues, please contact our partner and distributor, Batteries Plus Bulbs, at (855) 298-0344." A company that will not take responsibility for the quality of thier products does not deserve to be in business.

"Bought a LP-E19 battery and broken…"
Bought a LP-E19 battery and broken within a few days of using it. The customer service is so slow at getting back. Still waiting for a refund after a month of trying to send back. Make sure you keep your receipt as they question if I posted it. Won't be buying from them again.

"I have used Duracell batteries in a…"
I have used Duracell batteries in a variety of devices for years, but no more. Virtually every device I have put them into in the last few years has been damaged by leaking acid (I made the mistake of buying the large quantity pack, and attempted to use them up). To their credit, and my time consumed to do so, they did pay for replacement devices for those that are still availible, but many of the items are one of a kind hand made clocks with electric movements. We are talking clocks, something that has to have batteries in it to function. Used to be the batteries would die (obvious, the clock stops) and you put new ones in, done! Every time the clock stops its due to corrosion, and the pull by date is still 6-8 years in the future! Don't bother with these, they are destructive in every way. The company recommends storing batteries out of the device, but what the heck is a clock without batteries, of a flashlight you have to fumble around in the dark installing batteries into in an emergency? Your call, but I'm through with them.

"Duracell IS1000 batteries way below what's promised!"
I bought a Duracell IS1000 charger that included AA batteries. I use them solely to power my Sony personal radio, which requires 2 AA batteries. Each day's use is usually 1 hr. They lasted weeks/months per charge -- and failed WAY LESS than the promised 400 recharges (maybe generously guessing 50 -- maybe) as they're are now indicating "error" since the red light blinks on attempt to recharge. I was tempted to buy more but thought why if these don't last anywhere near what they're alleged to provide. What a joke!

"These batteries are not great"
These batteries are not great, I use a lot of AA and AAA batteries and i find they are no longer lasting than other brands but at a premium price, I also find some tend to leak after a period of time, which has caused damage to various items of equipment, the MN1300 type also don’t last very long compared to other brands

"Duracell batteries leak"
I have trusted Duracell copper top batteries for many years. They have been powerful and long lasting. However, within this past year I have had many of the AA and AAA batteries leaking and damaging my devices, even while still providing power. They have leaked in 4 remote controls, a camera, and my aviation headset. When I reset 3 battery operated clocks in November I found that the Duracell's were leaking even though the clocks were still running. I should have given a 1 star rating, because if the battery leaks and ruins a $1000.00 noise canceling headset while still powering it, it is just not acceptable, no matter how powerful they are.
