      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On January 31, 2024 I purchased two packs of Duracell Procell AA 24 Pack. I paid $27.39 and the purchase was made on **********. I purchased these batteries for a project I was involved with dealing with clock movements. After installing a fresh battery in the movement, the clock started up and stopped 2 hours later. I thought I had a bad battery so I replaced it and the same thing happened with the replacement battery. Due to Hazmat, I was unable to return these back to Amazon so I sent an email to Duracell. Case # ***** was opened and I was dealing with multiple people in email. Primarily with Heather who insisted the reimbursement I was going to receive was in the form of a coupon. I immediately refused and submitted proof of purchase and requested a full refund in the form of a check. Duracell refused and today I received a coupon for $5.00 off my next Duracell purchase. Is this a joke? $5 coupon when I spent close to $30 on batteries that don't work?

      I've had a lot of leakage issues with the Duracell AAA batteries. I store all my batteries in a Battery Daddy designed to store batteries. Batteries are stored in the house with multiple brands of other batteries, Duracell are the only ones that consistently leak and only the AAA. I've had to throw away over 20 of these Duracells. All of the defective batteries had at least 4 years left before expiration, the latest 2029.
