I opened a new package of Kirkland brand AA batteries but when I put
them in the device I got the flashing LED mesage of low voltage. Out
of 6 batteries 3 were bad. Measuring the voltages one battery measured
.82 volts, another 1.1 volts, and a third one measured -87 mV.
Negative? Really? Yeah, I thought that too. But I made sure the meter
leads were correctly placed. So I guess something weird is happenening
to these batteries while they are sitting in the package. Maybe they
are getting ready to leak. I'm thinking that package needs to go back.
to Costco.
Yes!
By all means return them to Costco with an attached note as to
their failure(s).
I've been buying, storing (in a fridge), and using Costco's D, AA, AAA,
and 9V batteries for at least 2 decades without issue. Any retailer can
get hurt by bad products from a supplier. But, without feedback . . . . .
