AA battery life
Just a bit of a rant. :( I have an SLR camera that I use a lot, mostly for documenting restoration of 2 cars I've been working on for a while. I use ordinary AA batteries and not rechargeable one...

Went to use it a few days ago and over the winter, the one Duracell in it had leaked while the two Panasonic ones hadn't. The batteries wouldn't have been more than 5 years old.OkieGene wrote:
If you are near a Costco go buy their jumbo pack of Kirkland batteries.
I quit using them after lots of leaking batteries screwing up my stuff.
So the supposedly premium ones are no better at lasting longer before leaking? Maybe alkaline batteries are like ST tires and should be routinely replaced at no more than 5 years old before they have a chance to make a mess?
Basic "Rule", never mix batteries. Always same make, same type, never mix. A leaking battery often results.
