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

I can well believe it, and i'm sure we get the same cells wearing different jackets/branding from time to time.

Inevitably i am having a purge, and have now found 3 or 4 of the *Philips AAA (09-2021) batch that have leaked whilst still holding a charge.

The Panasonic C pictured deserves a mention (05-2020) as it is growing rust spots on it's +ue. That's only a year over, so a bit naughty. Less destructive than these* though.

One type which hasn't given me any gip yet (famous last words) is the bronze jacketed Alkaline Panasonic AAA,AA,C,D and PP3 variants. The AAA range aren't very gutsy, but that's not an issue to me if they can stay in one piece until their time's up. If i can't get them next week it's going to be Varta..
