Default Re: Summer fades, leaking dry cells.

Leaky Duracells are not a new problem.

In the mid '80s I was tasked by the chief engineer in a large Manchester hotel to collect examples of in-date Duracells as evidence for a compensation claim he made to Mallory, the then owners of the brand.

I think some BER TV remotes were sent as well.

If I remember correctly, the cells were marked either France or Belgium depending on where they were made, only one type leaked.
