Bob,
In the last two years, I have lost 3 led flashlights and my ELT - all to Duracell batteries. The new elt was upgraded to the 406 Mhz, so it cost me $650. Duracell guarantees $25 !!!
The led flashlights were more than this limit.
Several of my hanger mates have seen similar results with this brand battery. I heard that productin was moved to China - not confirmed.
No more Duracells - ever!

I've not experienced a leaking incident with
flashlight cells in years. I did loose a digital
caliper last month because an alkaline button cell
leaked . . . but it was a case where the tool was
stored for a long time with a discharged cell. Our
battery powered devices are working tools that generally
don't get stored for long periods of time with dead
cells.
. . . they were great for meters and cameras, not so any more.
I've not detected any 'changes' in these products
tendencies to leak in our regular change-out working
environment. Has anyone else on the list experienced
a messy event with their alkaline cells of any brand?
