Jerb,
YES !!!
I have seen them fail most recently in my 121.5Mhz ELT - ruined it, they leaked so bad.
Also, I pitched out a new LED flashlight that used 1 AA battery. The battery was so swelled and caused so much corrosion in the casing that I couldn't extract it.
Not sure what's up with DURACELL, but this is killin' me. I need a new ELT and don't want to buy an old 121.5 unit, and my cheap slef isn't willing to buy an overpriced 405 unit.

Hi,
Has anyone else experienced an increase of Durocell batteries leaking
in devices in the last couple years. I've used them for years in
test equipment, cameras, and high dollar radios because they didn't
leak. Can't say that no more. So far I had them leak in a couple
small Mag flashlights, my PDA device, and my GPS. A little further
back they done in my red/white lens aviation flash light also. I
never used to have a problem with them. They cost more than ever
today and appear to leak more, is there a relationship here. I never
recharge them.
Darn, I just looked behind me at a package to see if I had spelled
the name right, and found another one of a few I had sitting their
has leaked. Crap.... Might they relabeling Rayovac's. What is
different with these batteries selling now?
