Duracell Coppertop AA Batteries, 28-Count

I purchased these batteries a couple months ago from Amazon.com and used them in a childs toy. They didn't work. My first thought was it must be the toy. I tried another toy and same thing happened. Then a third and fourth. Batteries seem drained. I have no idea what the problem is. Duracell is normally a good brand so maybe these are fake Duracell or very old? Just letting you know my experience with them. Judge for yourself.

Batteries came in two packages. I opened 1 pack and every single battery was completely dead! And no I did not put them in backwards...lol I actually looked! :) I put the old batteries back into the pop light that had gone dim and the light glowed, tried 4 more 'new' batteries and nothing. I tested the whole pack and not 1 worked. The exp date on the batteries still have a few years to go so you would think that they would have been okay. Sending back and will just buy more when I'm out shopping. I may be paying more, but at least they will work!

Buy Duracell Coppertop AA Batteries, 28-Count Now

I have been a loyal Duracell purchaser for 15 years, but the last 5 or 8 years, they have seen a serious quality drop.

I've now ruined four remotes in the past five years thanks to leaking Duracell batteries. this never used to happen, matter of fact, one of my remotes had good Duracell's that expired in 2002, but had not leaked.

However, a remote was just ruined by a set of Duracell's that expire in 2014 (this review is from 2012) that had been installed in 2011, and leaked.

So I'm done with this brand. The ONE thing a battery MUST do is not leak. If it does not last, OK, I'll look for a more durable option. If you ruin my gear repeatedly, it's over.

I was really happy to get a good deal on batteries right before christmas however we started using them for new toys and they won't run everything. We bought a leapster for our daughter and it would turn on and turn right back off, we checked the batteries to make sure they were in correctly and tried again...nothing! We were getting ready to package it back up to return it when my husband decided to try different (store bought) batteries and to our surprise, and honestly disappointment in our wasted money, they worked. We will not be trying to "save" money on batteries again!

Batteries arrived in good shape and on time. But 2-3 weeks later when they were installed for the first time in my child's Christmas gift. NOTHING! They absolutely did not work! I happened to have new batteries of a different brand to replace them and had no issues getting the toy to work. I recieved an entire box of duds! Not very pleased.
