Are you storing them in an oven? I have used Alkaline cells that
were over six years old.
Are those times for cells that have been stored in unused condition,
or for cells that are in a device which is in occasional use?
I believe that the former (shelf life when fully charged) is often a
good deal better than the latter (lifetime once partially discharged).
I've read that even a modest partial discharge of an alkaline cell
starts an electrochemical reaction that can lead to corrosion of the
case after a year or so.
I'd say you need to change your brand.
