[R-390] OT Battery Leakage

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Keep in mind that in this day and age, just about anything can (and is) counterfeited. It’s not just the brand you buy, but who you get them from. That wonderful deal from “Bob’s Batteries of Bulgaria” on Duracell Pro’s is low priced for a reason ….The price delta between no-names and good ones makes batteries a tempting target.
