Re: Remove those batteries when out of use!
You can also wrap the cells in clingfilm which sometimes helps.
I agree with the experiences of others, it's completely unpredictable. I've had cheap Chinese factory fit zinc carbons in remotes last for over a decade without leaking, and I've had expensive Duracells leak well within the use by date.
Battery leakage does seem to do less damage than it used to though - maybe the chemistry has changed.
