Thanks! That’s good advice and is appreciated! I’m an old guy and have left a lot of brands of batteries in things over the years but I have never seen the kind of leakage that comes out of a Duracell battery. I’ve been on a mission to remove batteries out of everything I’m not using. Found a co...
It does. Way too long I know. Other brands of batteries that I have experienced does not cause this much damage. Duracell claims that they engineer their batteries to do this to prevent explosions. I’ve never had a battery that didn’t leak to explode....
