My AVO 8 still has a Rayovac alkaline D cell fitted. It must be around 25yrs old now but still packs a punch and is leak free.

A Philips remote for a 15" FST 'Trendset' still operates OK on its original Maxell AAA batteries which are dated September 1986.

Energisers have been the worst for me with regard to leakage.
