Call up the battery company. I had a similar
problem with Duracell brand. They asked me
a few questions on the phone, then sent
me a prepaid debit card for pretty close
to the full value.

sidenote: whoever atctaully manufactures
these cells (and I've seen this with "Sears",
Duracell, and Everready, clearly changed
their forumlation a few years ago.

I'm old enough to recall 1980ish when they
all had adverts saying their new batteries
wouldn't leak. And sure enough, the leakage
problem ended.

Then about 5 years ago I, and other folk I've
spoken with, started seeing it again. Both
in batteries in appliances and also in
ones still in their original packaging.

Don't put the leaky batteries in your eyes. The potassium hydroxide
could cause irritation.

Alkalines produce hydrogen when dead, and that blows seals. When did the
light and the walkie talkie last work okay?

An Eneloop should hold its charge for years, and I don't recall seeing a
leaky NiMH. If I spend $40 on a flashlight, that seems like an important
consideration.

I vaguely remember reading that alkalines have a rather long shelf life,
BUT, once you start using them, that shelf life goes WAY down.
Don't remember them defining exactly what was happening chemically.

That is on my list of things to do. Can't remember
if Duracell or Energizer, one wanted the serial
or batch code lightly stamped into the side of
the battery. I'd never noticed that.

We all laugh at the poor quality of that molded Battery Charger which cost
us $0.80 Yet, it has been my observation that countries/companies can
learn how to make high quality, but they NEVER seem to learn how to make
low cost. I'm old enough to remember the cost quality ratios from Germany
AND from Japan. As a joke we used to pick up ANYTHING that broke, turn
pieces of it over, and preteend to read, "Made in Japan." and everyone had
a good laugh. Back then, German optics seemed like the ONLY source, now I
readily seek Japanese optics. Yep, the Germans NEVER learned how to lower
their prices, but the Japanese certainly learned how to make quality.
....now apply that concept to China's supply chain. ...shiver. The rest of
the world's manufacturing doesn't stand a chance.

In their turn, at the start of the industrial revolution when Britain
was king of the hill, German goods were considered to be cheap junk
handcrafted in a cow barn.

Perhaps the next stop will be Africa for cheap junk.

That's always possible. Several years ago I bought some LED flashlights
at CostCo. 3 for $20. They were well made and had a feature where the
end cap button would illuminate when the batteries got low.
Unfortunately, that feature placed a parasitic load on the batteries
ensuring they would drain down in a month or two.

The design was corrected in the next batch. No indicator light and the
batteries last as expected.

One was a closet light with a mechanical
switch, left turned off. Not much chance
of long term drain.

Other was a FRS handi talkie, with push
button off switch. "might" had a drain.

I think shorted or left on will contribute.

I've bought some HF cells. Some work fine, they
have about the same leak rate as other brands.

Tried a couple D NiMH but they didn't hold enough

Same happens with Duracell too. Just found out
Duracell I put in on wall clock leaked and died

This thing is worse than Alkaline ones. Doesn't
even last a year.

a: are you getting "real D" cells? Dating back to the

were really "C", or even "A", with lots of cardboard
and air to make up the difference

b: and if you are using a "D", do you have a charger

I've read that AA is the "natural" size for NiMH. Tenergy has 10,000 mah
D cells. I'd need a D cell NiMH charger.

Eneloop doesn't seem to make D cells. They sell Eneloop D cell spacers
to use with AA cells. It sounds as if they see technical drawbacks to
NiMH D cells.

A "D size" cell isn't that common in consumer electronics anymore except for flashlights/torches and I can imagine that the current capacity of a D size NiMH would be high enough to make it a real fire hazard if shorted out. I really wonder if some manufacturers see it as a liability. You can purchase NiMH D cells from Amazon and the things are rated at a massive 10,000 mah. The 12 vdc SLA rechargeable battery in a small UPS or alarm system is only rated at around 7,000 mah. Dang! Those NiMH batteries have a lot of power.

I think they were low amp hour rating, so most
likely they were hot dog rolled AA cells.

And, no, probably not enough power for charge.

I've seen 9 and 10 amp hour rated D cells.
My daily use cells are AA. With D cells,
alkalines last two years or more of
occasional use (Mag light in truck).

One friend of mine in South Carolina uses
NiMH D because they are less likely to leak
in the hot car trunk. Makes sense.

Me being in PRNY, not as much an issue.

Where I worked we had many (atleast 50 or more) lights that had the NiCd
cells in many types. They were tested about every 3 months to see if they
would work at all. Then every year or so they were given about a 5 minuit
test. We replaced many of the battery packs each time we did a test.

That's the Gates cylindrical cells in shrinkwrap
which are the first ones I ever saw. Usually 6vdc

What's the advantage to SLA in shrink wrap?
Looked a lot like sub C nicads. Why would
SLA cells be better?

All I remember was more than one cell, and the shrink

Gell Cells

VRLA = Valve Regulated Lead Acid

SLA = Sealed Lead Acid

AGM = Absorbed Glass Mat

The cylindrical batteries are a type of SLA battery with spiral wound plates. They were manufactured by Gates and now Enersys. The cylindrical cells are often wired in series and put in shrinkwrap to make battery packs. 8-)
