[Milsurplus] Duracell Coppertop battries

[William Cromwell]

Hi,

I just put a set of those in my four-cell Mag Lite and worried about 
that. I intend to get new batteries for it and throw away Duracells. I 
have experienced the leakage in the past too. Sting me once and shame on 
you. Sting me again and shame on me.

73,
