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

I rate Varta as good is this respect, but i have seen two of their AAA's leak. One was in a batch of many hundreds of 'in date' cells still in their wrapping, the other was in a remote control that demands a small quiescent current from it's cells. I find this low trickle to be a problem for some alkaline AAA's- they don't like it up 'em, for some reason.

I would check the electric screwdriver itself for issues (if it hasn't been killed)
