@Dallas Joseph posted:Ray , I quit using Duracell Alkalines a long time ago after seeing issues with leakage.
I now use Energizer RECHARGEABLES . Even though voltage on full charge is a little lower than the alkalines they still work very well. I keep four on charge while I have the other four in use in the remote.
Hope you now have continued luck with your remote.
I gave up on all alkaline batteries when it comes to expensive (and sometimes irreplaceable) equipment and remotes. I've seen every brand leak at some point or another but Duracells are the worst. Very rarely do NiMH rechargeable batteries leak but for the best results, I use energizer lithium batteries. They don't leak when they die and a very long shelf life so you can leave them in remotes and not worry. They are however expensive and not rechargeable.
