[Milsurplus] Copper Top Battries

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

I have some of the Radio Shack green labeled Enercells in 9-volt and C-cell sizes that haven't leaked and it looks like date codes say 1999. The labels include the words "Miracle Seal". But of course they're long dead and, also of course, one can't get them anymore.

Hi John,

I remember in the 50's that Ray O Vac advertised the "leak proof
battery".
I wonder if they were before Mallory?

That Duracell batteries should be garnering a reputation for leakage is
is
ironic, considering that the original manufacturer of the Duracell
product
line, P.R. Mallory, & Co., famously pioneered the metal-clad,
leak-proof
battery...

73,
