Re: The hidden danger of dead batteries...
I was just waiting for the kettle to boil and I remembered I had a Flat Pocket torch by Ever ready in the kitchen drawer, I checked it and the 4.5v LR12 battery was dead, on taking the battery out I noticed the longest tab fell off, Closer inspection revealed it was corrosion that had caused it to break off. The battery was about 2 years old and had hardly any use . It was branded Philips . This is what the battery looks like inside now.
