Re: Amazing D cell discovery!
The Duracells that I used to buy for my radios back in the 90's used to be great, last absolutely ages and not leak. My Grandad had a stack of Procell pp3's for his smoke alarm, most were out of date, but all worked well.
My last experience of Duracells has not been so good, I had a set that were still in date leaking away merrily in my radio controlled clock, they still gave out the correct voltage too. I only found out when the corrosion had finally got bad enough to cause a bad connection and the clock stopped working! On opening the battery door I must have broken through the corrosion as the clock started working again. Not impressed!

Lloyd
