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...

If you are near a Costco go buy their jumbo pack of Kirkland batteries.
Made by Duracell.
The go to batteries for high drain devices are Duracell and Energizer, you get what you pay for.
I have had multiple failures from the Kirkland AA and AAA batteries. As in easily 10+ devices leaked in by Kirklands. I still buy at Costco but only the Duracells and I've never had a leaker since.
One tip to recover from a leaked battery. Take the battery out of the device. Use a cotton swab and some white vinegar and the corrosion will melt away. The key is to use the swab to control and contain the excess vinegar so it does not run down into the device and ruin something.
