Look what I found on my battery "shelf":

They were unopened until today, when I ripped open the left side to
pull out a few batteries.

They're marked with a 7 shelf life. I'm only 2.7 years over the 2014
expiration date, but have no idea when I bought them. I guess it's
"use them or lose them" because I stupidly used up newer battery
packages before diving into the older batteries buried in the back of
the battery "shelf".

Grumble, and $15 gone. Oddly, most of the batteries I pulled out and
cleaned seem to work. I'll run a capacity test on a leaky battery
later. No, I'm not going to put an expired and leaking battery in my
toys.


I have never seen alkaline AAA batteries of any brand where some
didn't leak. As far as AA ones go, Kirkland and the AA that Dollar
General used to have manufactured in Indonesia seemed to leak the
least.
