RE: N size batteries on sale
Interesting. I've had the opposite experience, Energizers leaking. In decades of using Duracell, I've never seen any leak. I never use Energizers for anything anymore..

2 for < $1

These deals usually expire within minutes so buy 'em quickly.

Great price for sure, however I and many other folks here have had Duracell batteries leak with little notice and damage the devices they were in. Of course this can happen with any brand, but the number of reports of Duracell damage far outweigh other similar contenders, such as Energizers.

The problem was well known for a long time, even back in the 80's when HP advised HP-71B users (and likely other machines as well) to NOT use Duracell brand, to avoid damaging the devices.
