Default 50 Dying batteries: Can they be shorted by cardboard if humid enough?

Is there another possibility for this, other than just lesser quality
batteries?


No, they're just crap.

And is the cardboard shorting even possible?


No.

I buy 'brand name' dollar store batteries and they're fine. The dollar store
button cells may be another story.
