I also have stopped using them due to leaking. I have started going to Energizers and also Amazon rechargeable batteries in AA, and AAA.

I’ve repeatedly had those got damned Duracells leak BRAND NEW (unused) STILL IN THE SEALED PACKAGE. And long before their expiration date, stored in a drawer in my air conditioned house. Pieces of shit, they are.

I have had that happen once, to a 24-pack of Duracells that I bought at Wally World. That was the final straw and I haven't touched them again.

Returning them to Costco, even if you have a fraction of how many were there when you bought them, seems a resonable thing to me. If enough folks take them back, maybe positive change could be affected. I did that the last time I bought Duracells that leaked into the package, and recieved a full refund. (they were not expired of course)
