Have switched to Amazon Basic Batteries and Ever Ready Energizer that doesn’t seem do this. Anybody else have this same experience??

Yes, and you will have the same experience with those batteries too. Some devices draw power even when turned off, even if just a tiny amount, and that causes alkaline batteries to leak when they get old enough. If the device is something that you keep batteries in then you should be putting heavy-duty or lithium batteries in it.
