Given your update: I had the same thing happen. Apparently, buying a 30 pack of 9V batteries ten years ago because “I’ll need them eventually” was not a great idea. Because you just end up with 26 batteries that have 2% of their juice left.
I didn’t waste any, though. Used all of them up. Just had to change a lot of smoke alarm batteries for a while.
