Funny.  I've had several leakage incidents, all with other brands of 
Alkaline cells.  I decided to switch to this brand because I have never 
had an incident with them!

I guess my statistically insignificant anecdotal evidence is...not 
significant.  But I wish the battery manufacturers would try harder in 
this area, given the amount of damage it can do.  I would definitely pay 
a premium for leak-free batteries.
