Quote from previous post: "but Energizer does not leak."
I also thought this was true. Have bought only Energizer batteries for ten years.
Last year they leaked into my $30 Mag light and this year they leaked in my Sony Walkman.
I sent my Walkman to Energizer and they said that although their batteries were leaking in my Sony, that the previous batteries did the damage.
Since I have always bought Energizer, it was their batteries that did the damage.
When I'm not satisfied with a product, I take my money elsewhere.
In the future, I will buy Duracell.

"what do you people think of abt?
I bought a dehumidifier from abt (
www.abt.com) two weeks ago and am pleased with them. Price was very good and it was shipped two days after ordering.
