I've been burned a few times by duracell's I got at bodegas. Duracells are my go to battery that I use when my rechargeables are not available and have never had an issue with Duracells I've bought at Costco or Target but I suspect I've gotten fakes at the halal markets. Not sure if this is a good way to tell but the bodega ones will have french or spanish writing on the packaging and the expiration date makes it appear they are reasonably new yet they end up being duds.
