I did search and there's no mention of a 60 count in that post title. HD ad linked there also does not mention 60-count.

They all leak, like an 80-year old's urinary tract.

I'm 80 & I've got no leaks. Speak for your own grandpa, you little whippersnapper.

And by the way, you AND your hooligan friends better stay off my lawn. That'll learn ya.

They must have bad batches. I used to come on these rayovac threads and proudly proclaim that I never had any leak, either. Then I had several bad boxes of AA and AAA. One box the AAA's didn't even work, and were still 3 years away from the expiration printed on them. Another box ruined several high priced electronics.

Here is a tip that will be helpful to users of these Rayovac's. Once they leak all over your electronics, you may be able to fix them by taking a bowl of powder baking soda, and add water. Stir it up until it is like a paste. Clean the contacts with this paste and then wipe clean. Some things are salvageable, and some things aren't.

Never again! We do still get the Rayovac 9V for the guitar pedals, though.

They are Alkaline, not acid based batteries, you need to neutralize the base Alkaline with an acid. Clean up leakage with vinegar and a q-tip.

Haven't had any of these leak yet, Duracell are hands down the WORST batteries for leaking in my experience (many years of repairing alkaline damage to circuit boards).

Same here, I've had MANY flashlights ruined with Duracells, including about 3 dive lights that cost $150+ total, quite a few years ago. I've had consistent Duracell leaks but very, very few Rayovacs that leaked -- I just won't buy Duracells anymore. I only keep alkalines in cheap flashlights now for emergencies and use rechargeables otherwise, but I always stock up on Rayovacs at this time of year and keep a rotating stash in my emergency kit.

You used to come on these threads proudly with no leaks?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank JamesA8887

Here is a 36 pack that I bought last year and haven't even opened yet. There are at least 6 that I can see are leaking. The date printed on them is Nov 2026. They are stored inside my climate controlled house, not in a garage or anything like that.

I have had success with the baking soda, but what you say makes sense. I will definitely try vinegar next time. Thanks!

I agree Duracell are the most leaky. Rayovacs in general have had very few leaks and Energizers usually don't leak. I found the 60 packs in the store today. Thanks. They were on the shelf with the other batteries and not in an aisle cardboard display where most Black Friday items were located. I asked an associate and he pointed them out to me.

Weird, all my local stores have a bunch, but only one (the least local of them) shows it at the sale price.

Got these last year and they all worked well (I think they were 5 or 6 bucks then for 40) and what fortuitous timing as I've just run out of AAs. toddlers and their electronics toys...
