don't stock up on alkalines of any brand as the best ones only store 5-7 years and yeah they leak all over the place inside your electronics.
Pay extra and get the lithium AA AAA batteries, they handle cold weather a lot better AND they store for 25 years (and you could even use them past 25 years, that's the age range where they will have some noticeable capacity loss but they will still have life in them at that age!!)
Lithiums have never leaked for me, so it's safer to keep them in electronics

I don't know if it's bad luck, but these batteries always seem to burst after a while in things or just sitting around. I've had better luck with home depo hdx.
I've had good luck with the Rayovac, much better than Duracell, which I will never use again.
The only way to prevent leaks it seems is to go with rechargeable batteries.

Looks like the math is better in the Lowe's deal. Check that thread. Seems to be split between folks who love these batteries and folks who had expensive gear ruined.

You got that right!
They destroyed a couple of digital deadlocks
and some remotes.
NEVER EVER AGAIN.
I just threw out my remaining Rayoleaks,
and made sure none were in anything I have.
I submitted a claim to them - for damage to a lock and 3/4 of the pack was wet in acid, picture etc Got NOTHING.
I have never seen anything like it. Dollars Store batteries are better.
I have never tried the high energy model these, but I have a few boxes of the Rayovacs AA and AAA in this same container of 36 that I bought not too long ago and they leak OFTEN and randomly in devices and even in the container brand new and never used!! Stored perfectly in a cool environment always and these are JUNK! Wish I never bought.
