Another thing to check is the batteries in the remote controllers that
proliferate in homes these days.

 

I've had so many leakages from Energizer batteries that I won't have them in
the house.  They, too, claimed to provide a replacement or refund for any
item damaged by leakage, in the very, very small print.  I tested this and
began to think I'd taken up a new hobby.  They made the claim such hard work
that it made me more and more determined to win.  Each time I received a
payment, it was for less than they had agreed.  It took them 6 attempts to
cough up with the agreed sum.

 

It's sound advice from Wayne. Batteries are just waiting to leak in your
irreplaceable items.

 

Perhaps the KX4 would have a removable, slot-in battery pack Hi!
