What you got are bad batteries (even if they are Duracell or Energizer) and is not a problem of the flashlights.

Duracell will replace ANY device ruined by the batteries (as they are not supposed to leak the acid that corrode the lights or the electronics equipments.

And the Energizers probably will do the same if you get in contact with customer service and send the damaged light (or camera or GPS) with the batteries still inside.

Pachmayer sell a self stick rubber covering for flashlights and tools that are used in the bitter cold (lots of Alaskan working outside have the handles of tools wrapped in this rubber covering, it is called pac skin.

I have used it for ages in the lights that are stored in my trunk.
