Re: Amazing D cell discovery!
I'm definitely not buying any more Duracell/Procell stuff when my current stock is exhausted.
I'd say about 50% of them leak, often before they're exhausted or past their use-by date.
The most ridiculous incident was in a (secondhand) remote-controlled car I got my son for his birthday. It was dirt cheap from a charity shop, so it didn't really matter financially, but it was very disappointing to find that was virtually a write-off less than a month after the first set of batteries were installed because they had leaked so badly.
GP (Golf Peak) ones seem very good and are often used by OEMs, but who knows these days.
