Both Kirkland and Duracell have leaked IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE.
Moreover, the Duracell Eneloop-analogs don't last any better than the
Duracell rechargeables.
I returned the Kirklands and Duracells (both bought at Costco) and
bought Energizer somewhere elselast time I needed batteries.
No visible damage so far, but it's been only a few months. I no longer
use the camera that used AA rechargeables. I feel bad about that, but
the phone is handier.
