Re: Summer fades, leaking dry cells.
The "leaky Duracells are all fakes" story has been actively pushed by Duracell themselves, but there is no evidence that this is the case other than at the very bottom end of the market. The big supermarkets and chains buy very large quantities of batteries from first line distributors or the manufacturers themselves. If they started selling fakes then the lawyers would be on the case in a heartbeat.
Duracell themselves produce a range of different batteries at different price points. They even supply Poundland (though they don't sell for a pound there).
