They do??  Hmmm.

Duracells leak. Costco, which are Duracells under the hood, also leak. 
In recent years they've become markedly worse, now some leak without 
ever being used and well before their stale date.

Evereadies don't leak ....as much, anyway....

I use enough AA and AAA to buy them by the Costco-bale. Next time it'll 
be the Sam's Club bale and Eveready instead.

I have a clock that's supposed to take a pricey C battery. Behold, a 
cheap AA battery fits, and works just as well! (Maybe longer, it's been 
in there five years now.)

"A" batteries exist.

Scroll down a ways in the first chart; they're below AA and AAA and AAAA 
(whoever heard of those??)
