AVOID THESE LIKE THE ******** PLAGUE

They will leak and destroy your electronics 100% guaranteed. The only KS product I won't touch with a 100 ft pole.

Return them with extreme prejudice. Do not let anyone sway you. I've owned at least 10 packs of these and all 10 leaked. They've destroyed countless electronics and some very expensive ones too. I understand all batteries leak but there is a serious defect in these for at least 12 years. You can see reference all over the web.

One time when KS batteries were on Amazon (that listing has been taken down) they had the lowest rating of any product I had ever seen. Heartbreaking stories of musical boxes passed down from deceased family member(s) broken because of these leaking batteries.

What is the deal with made in America products lately ? My experience with *rapovacs is bad and now your saying KS are privatelabled duracells but are likely just as bad. Hopefully someone out there comes out with good batteries like was made years ago.

I've bought several boxes of KS batteries, not had a single leak yet. Seems like they SHOULD be good batteries if they are just white box Duracell as it appears they are... Now Rayovac on the other hand, those are terrible!

Believe the reports. These things have killed almost every single piece of electronics I've ever used them on.
