Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report abuse 1.0 out of 5 starsLeaky Kirkland AA batteries By Jean Melancon on December 26, 2013 All these Kirkland AA batteries leak and wreck anything you put them in via corrosive damage.

Would you say Costco came up a little shy of their performance goal? It is reckless and unconscionable on Costco's part that they did not perform due diligence to assure their product was of comparable or superior quality to competitive AA batteries in the marketplace, when in fact it is the lowest quality battery I have encountered in 60+ years. We consumers use these batteries in a wide variety of devices, some of which are very costly, and rightfully have the expectation that these batteries will perform satisfactorily. It is reckless on Costco's part that they would sell a battery of such low quality that can result in such severe consequences as ruining the subject devices. My personal feeling is that Costco should recall all these batteries because to leave them in unknowing consumers hands will cost consumers millions of dollars in damaged battery operated devices.

Yes No Report abuse 1.0 out of 5 starsThree flashlights ruined By Diables Bleu on February 18, 2013 We just had a major power outage. I grabbed my 4 Stanley tripod flashlights which are perfect for power outages. Three didn't work so I went to change the batteries and found them all full of the white powder typical of leaking batteries. They leaked so badly (and expanded) it took me several minutes to get the batteries out. The "best if installed by" date on the batteries is March 2016. The one flashlight that worked fine had Duracell Coppertop batteries installed. The only words I can think to write are "never again". Honestly, if you live in an area where some act of god or accident may cause power outages check your flashlights - if they have Kirkland AA batteries give yourself some peace of mind and change them out for another brand. Edit - I went to Costco yesterday with a few "best if installed by 2016" leaking Kirkland AA batteries and they refunded me the purchase price for the last set I purchased, so kudos to Costco. However, I'm pretty sure it's because I bought them directly from Costco. I still won't be buying any more Kirkland batteries however. Buy Kirkland batteries, because, well, they're good and cheap. |

I stopped using Kirkland batteries years ago. Now I wait for sales on Duracell but not happy with the standard version. I look for the Quantum type and hope they last longer.

According to this tester, Kirkland batteries are re-branded Duracells. Doesn't surprise me.

I buy Energizer batteries most of the time. I'll use a Duracell, but only in something that I know will drain them quickly. |
