[MRCA] Leaking Alkaline Batteries

[walter.skavinsky]

I also label all use batteries with a letter or a number so that I can match them up with their pairs that way I don't mix partially used batteries with fresh.

The best solution is to take the batteries out of your electronics after each use, and store them is an acid resistant container.

So far I have good results with the very expensive 1.5 volt AA non-rechargeable lithium cells. I have them in all really expensive gear and after a couple more alkaline leaks recently am thinking they are worth it for just about anything except disposable toys.

The was a discussion about leaking Duracell batteries a couple of weeks ago. Paul Rako at Elecrtronic Design Magazine posted an article about his experiences and some suggestions from associates:

One recommendation is using Panasonic Alkaline batteries which can be purchased at a good price in quantityfrom distributors such as Mouser or Digi-Key

Does anyone have experience with these Panasonic batteries with regards to leakage? I checked the batteries in my equipment on a rainy Day and found leaking Duracells in a multi-meter. Until I find a leakproof battery I'm removing them from equipment I use occasionally.
