anyone try the new Costco AA and AAA batteries?

I got tired of Rayovac long life alkalines leaking in the package BEFORE use. I'm trying ACDelco alkalines from Amazon. They can't be any worse.

Duracells and Rayovacs leak. I’ve had luck with Panasonics from the dollar store and AmazonBasics, which were made by Fujitsu General in Indonesia.

I stopped buying Costco Duracells because when I needed to replace batteries most were already dead in the package. This is 1-2 years being stored in a dry cool place.

Been using Costco brand batteries for at least a decade. Never a problem.

What id's the looks to minimize leakage? I buy lots of these batteries.

The new ones have a outer wrapping that looks like is tighter sealed at each end than the old ones. Might mean nothing, just an observation.
