Default Re: Leaking batteries. A reminder, a warning.

(I recall looking inside a sixties transistor radio that wouldn't operate on mains without a trickle from four D cells..The finer points were lost on me as i was 10 at the time.)

These are the Panasonic alkaline type which are -so far- behaving. I have used them in all five common sizes, and as mentioned the PP3 and AAA cannot compete with others regarding capacity.

There are six of these D cells inside my maglite, all are 1.555v-1.556v off load, no dropouts. BB date is 2024 so it's too early for cast iron recommendation.
