Default Re: Remove those batteries when out of use!

Even the more expensive brands leak nowadays. I had to remove some Duracell alkalines from a device. One of them had started leaking and made a mess of things. They had a service-time of maybe 10% of what batteries in that position normally do.

Also a few years back I had Philips batteries that leaked while still in their packaging. Stored at about 15 °C in a dry environment. I showed them at the shop, but they were not willing to replace them.

It is indeed good advice to remove batteries from equipment or remotes not in use.
