Default Battery failures/leaks

I've always kept batteries out of items I don't plan on using on a regular basis.

Maybe newer engineered batteries are better, but I'm glad I pulled them out of my laser level awhile back.
This is what I found in the bag today

Yeah, I have seen that. I always take batteries out as well.
Its a mess to clean up in an apparatus, and if the corrosion is bad your equipment is toast.
I have a pile of batteries that look just like that waiting for me to take to a recycler. Do they even take dry cells?

Oh and that looks like a cut list, making the most of a length of steel.

Couldn't get the steel to work from home - truck repairs.
Hope to build it in the next couple weeks.

Default leaking batteries

clean the terminals with vinegar(for bad corrosion)and then with baking soda and water on a q-tip to neutralize the acid.clean again with clean water and let dry

I've notice Duracells have a the dance to leak more as compared to the Energizers.

Even the Costco Kirkland brand leaks less.

Anyone else noticed the same?
