[R-390] OT Battery Leakage

[Cecil]

I've been using only Everedy Energizers for years since I helped my son do a science fair project and they consistently beat the copper tops in every load test.  I've had a few leak but it didn't cause any damage...I've had the Duracells leak too...but the off brands have been worse about it.

They are supposed to have a shelf life of ten years, but some brands leak far before the dc voltage drops off. I have had bad luck with job smart (True Value) and Rayovac. The D cells and AA cells leak a corrosive goo that has damaged a Simpson 260, 6v lantern, flashlights, frs ht, and calculators. I would gladly pay a little more for a leak proof brand. What's a good brand? Thanks
