Doubtful, but never say never right? We go through so many batteries here at home that I buy them from Amazon by the case (gross). Six boxes of 4 batteries each inside a larger brick (24 batteries total) and there are 6 of the bricks inside the factory cardboard case (shipping box.) The only difference is all the boxes are printed with "Not for retail trade" because they are not intended to be broken up and sold as individual packages. I'm not buying the old loose batteries thrown into a bag that a lot of 3rd party sellers are trying to unload.
I've heard for years that Duracell alkaline batteries are notorious for leaking. I guess I've just been lucky until now. I swore off of Ray-O-Vac batteries decades ago because of leakage issues. Looks like I'll be paying the premium for Energizers from now on though.
