[Boatanchors] VOM Batteries that don't leak?

[J. Forster]

I used to use "Energizers" of the dumb bunny, but NEVER again. I have a
beautiful, oiled walnut, executive desk from Herman Miller that I bought
new years and years ago.

I bought a pait of Everready "D" batteries and never used them, but put
them on top of the desk. Well, they leaked and destroyed an area about 4"
in biameter completely.

I complained to Everready and they basically told me to go suck a lemon.

I have never bought anything Everready again, and never will.

YMMV,

-John
