Re: Remove those batteries when out of use!
The timing of this thread is timely... yesterday I went to use my Sony Minidisc RC and found the batteries had leaked. These were Energizer cells, still within their date (admittedly just, but non the less...) and regularly removed and inspected for leakage. Certainly every 6 months or so. The pictures speak for themselves. The remote has been stripped, cleaned and washed and is OK but I am less than pleased because this RC was pristine before.
The other picture shows my old Philips RC (the 15" FST "trendset" still sees daily use) and these cells are dated 1986 and still 100% leakfree and still work the RC perfectly. These were the Philips supplied cells with the TV.
I'm finding GP and Panasonic batteries among the most "trustworthy".
