Most reliable AA Alkaline

Mr.E · 2013-03-26T13:31:03+00:00

This morning I noticed the remote temperature sensor on my LaCrosse station was offline. Pulled sensor and opened battery case. Some corrosion from Duracell batteries marked MAR2017. One cell leaking. Replaced them after a vinegar cleanup, CRC 2-26 spray and vaseline wipedown. Went to wall station to remove batteries for reset. SEVERE corrosion from the same type Duracell MAR2017 cells in it with both cells leaking! Both devices had batteries put in last summer. Used same cleanup and new batteries. All working but I am seriously in doubt of what brand to use for future replacements. Rayovac has leaked on other flashlights etc. so I am trying the 10 year Energizer Max cells. I used SANYO cells for a long time (with no problems) but can not find them now. Any recommendations or gotchas appreciated.

No he was a right fielder for the Detroit Tigers and was a great "batter", not to mention fielder.

I have had this problem with DuraCell as well. About 10% leak and screw up the device. Looking for a better brand

Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries don't leak.

If you want rechargeables, the Panasonic Eneloops don't leak either. ////

Been using Ray-O-Vacs here. Haven't had too many leak problems over the last 10 years. I use them because the local grocery store here in NC, Ingles, offers a 10 or $10 deal periodically. So you get a pack of 4 for a dollar. And, here in NC you don't have to buy 10 to get the price!
