Early failure of Amazon Basics AA alkaline battery

[50yr Street Mech]

All alkaline eventually will leak. I've switched to Lithium and no leak problems. Catch them on sale every now and again.

found the Ray-o-vac alkaline battery's work well or Harbor freight edge battery are fine also. amazon anything stuff no way.

I had some 9v Amazon batteries, of which about half of them were decent. Several I put into smoke-detectors were chirping within a month.
I'll never buy that brand of battery again. I'll pay for Duracells.

I just use Panasonic blue colored 9v batteries from a dollar store, never an issue and they last.
