Duracell AAA and AA batteries here are mainly attractive as a free after rewards stock up, especially for buyers who can also use the purchase toward ink recycling or other Office Depot rewards redemptions. The deal can effectively turn a small out of pocket spend into store credit, and the rewards behave more like a gift card than a coupon. The big caution is leakage, with repeated reports of batteries leaking in unopened packs, in storage, and inside devices well before expiration. That makes them a better fit for low risk use or quick turnover than for anything valuable or long term.
people planning to stack Office Depot rewards with ink-recycling qualifying spend because commenters say the 100% rewards can be used for ink recycling/qualifying spend and they've earned back more rewards on a battery purchase.
office and home battery users who go through lots of AAA/AA and are willing to accept the risk because commenters say they still buy these on 100% rewards since they use lots of batteries anyway.
shoppers who want a "free after rewards" battery run and don't want to pay for a Costco membership because commenters argue this deal is free after rewards and better than paying membership for a comparable pack price.
anyone storing AAA/AA batteries for long periods in devices or leaving them in electronics, because multiple commenters report Duracell AAA/AA batteries leak badly if left in devices for a long time and can cause a mess in the battery compartment.
people who can't risk electrolyte damage to valuable electronics (like remotes, flashlights, calculators, toys, or camera equipment), because commenters warn these batteries can leak even when stored unopened and can ruin devices.
buyers who want to avoid the hassle of warranty/service steps, because commenters report Duracell may require sending in unopened battery packs (with a shipping label) or dealing with a service center process.
people who want to keep batteries in long-term storage without surprises, because commenters say leaks can happen years before the labeled expiration date (including from unopened packs).
They can leak in unopened packs and in devices, sometimes years before the expiration date. The reported failures are often at the bottom of the cell and have damaged electronics, toys, and remote controls.
The purchase earns 100% back in Office Depot rewards, which post as store credit-like rewards that can be used later. One pack can also qualify for ink recycling rewards if you meet the $10 minimum spend, making the effective return higher.
Duracell can replace leaking batteries, but the process may require photos, a service-center claim, or mailing the batteries in. Some replacements are handled with a coupon for any Duracell product, while others result in a check for the purchase price.
Costco's 40-pack for $19.99 is cheaper per battery, but this Office Depot offer is free after rewards and can be more useful if you want store credit back. Costco also requires a membership, while the Office Depot deal can be stacked with rewards and ink recycling.
Costco offers a 40-pack of either AAA or AA batteries from the same brand for $19.99.
Last I heard Costco AA/AAA batteries also sucked and I have experienced a lot of leaks from them as well in the past... they were or are made by DuraLeak. Only Energizer or Amazon Basics for me when I still use an AA/AAA alkaline battery. I think the C's and D's are not as bad but I am still not buying any more DuraLeak alkalines.
Oh you costco people just don't quit!! THIS IS FREE AFTER REWARDS! You get your money back to spend on other items. Do you get your $19.99 at costco? NO YOU DO NOT.Please, stop with the Costco is nirvana posts. It's a crap deal IMO compared to getting 16 or 24 batts for FREE AFTER REWARDS. Not to mention. the majority of citizens DO NOT BELONG and are you going to pay $65 for a membership to get your battery deal??
Same free-after-rewards math, different logo. Deep breaths. Woosah. This turned into way more passion than AA batteries deserve.
No, they always leak.
I have a hack to avoid damage from leak. First, cut up a piece of aluminum foil little bigger than the bottom. place on the bottom and wrap it up. Then wrap a tape around it to seal/secure it. Aluminum foil conducts the electricity and if it leaks, leak is contained inside the aluminum foil only. This has worked for me so far.
Sounds great and wrap it nicely with black elec tape. Do it on both the ends, correct?

I PM to Amazon to lower the OOP cost and tax paid.
Can one do this online, or do i have to do this instore? How does it work.
I remember a while back there was a post that if you do a pickup order and pay with rewards, if you never pick up the item they will eventually send you a check in the mail. You have to wait for the refund but it's a way to turn the rewards into cash. I've always done the postage stamp thing but I'm flush with stamps right now. Anyone ever had success with the pickup order hack?
FWIW, Office Depot/Max has extended this deal to 2/21/2026.
So if you already reached the limit of 2 earlier, you will NOT be able to take advantage of the battery deal again (since it's the same deal, not a 2nd deal).

Great Deal! Had office depot price match the aa batteries with Amazon. $14.22 via chat. Pickup in-store. Waited a day and bought aaa batteries (price matched with Amazon) pickup in-store with the awarded rewards. I had to pay $.67 extra. But basically, I got 16-AA&AAA packs(2packs) for $14.22+$.67 = $14.89. Because I used the rewards the second time, I did NOT get rewards for paying with rewards, but I got 67 cents in rewards. Not Bad deal, which expires 2/21/2026.
