Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Energy cells (batteries)

I have experienced problems with corrosion (white deposits) in battery
compartments of electrical gear.  This has been with "AA" alkaline cells.
My question is, would I have less problems using Lithium (Energizer
Ultimate) cells.  I know that I should probably remove the cells in
equipment that is not used on a regular basis, but I don't always bother or
remember.  I just replaced the cells in my GPS receiver, and found quite a
bit of corrosion.   I cleaned it up with baking soda and water, and it looks
good.  Device still works fine.  
Thanks for any information on this subject.  

73,
