Thanks for the replies. These were not leaking, but that switch in Polarity really had me going. Maybe I should switch to Ray O Vac's or Energizers. I think I bought the Duracell's are Home Depot.

Over the past 2 years I've had more Duracell AA and AAA cells leak fairly early in their useful lives. I've been checking my radios more frequently and removing the cells entirely for those not planned to be in use for anything longer than a few weeks. I've also started checking out some other brands. I've had a lot of Duracells leak lately as well--not sure what's up with them. Like Russ says, we loyal Duracell users should maybe try other brands to be safe. I had a Sony ICF-7600GR basically ruined by leaky/bloating batteries. Randy Stewart Arts Producer KSMU 901 S.
