Leak shmeak, for me Duracells last about as long as carbon-zinc batteries.
Every few years I buy a set to remind myself why I never buy them. The
best deal going around here is Ray-O-Vac from Menard's. I get about the
same life out of Ray-O-Vac as I do Eveready, and I get 24 (sometimes 30)
AA's for under ten bucks.
