Purchased box of 12 D-Cell Amazon labeled batteries back in July 2020 for stock. Today I found one battery had leaked (see attached photo) while still in package. This battery has an expiration date of 12/2024 (see photo) and has a 5-year leak-free shelf life (see WEB page description below). Battery was stored in a cool, dry, and dark draw. While the remaining eleven batteries seem ok for now, I will be keeping an eye on them. Note these were the white jacket version, I have not had any problems with the orange jacket batteries yet. Battery Made in China.
