[Boatanchors] VOM Batteries that don't leak?

[DC]

I have put eneloops in everything and never had a leakage problem since 
making the conversion to rechargeable 3 years ago.  Also, I think that 
if they ever did leak the substance is not corrosive.

They are in everything from a KX3 to outdoor sprinkler timers and have 
about 30 in service at any given time if you include emergency 
flashlights, ham gear, AM/FM radios and other stuff.

Amazon and Costco seem to have the best prices on them.
