Stupid alkaline batteries

Rayovac are the worst in my experience. They would start leaking in the package. They did have a warranty for 10 years so I filed a claim. They sent me a refund and a coupon for another pack of rayovac or energizer batteries. I guess they are owned by the same parent company. The energizers haven’t leaked yet. The regular Duracells leak too but not near as bad as the rayovacs. I use mostly rechargeable Amazon brand and eneloop batteries when I don’t need them to be disposable. They don’t seem to last quite as long as regular alkaline but they are easy to recharge. I keep a few extras so when they die the charged ones go in and the dead ones get charged and then ready for the next use.
 
And I never have a damn 9v battery when I need one! They really went up in cost.
Used to get shitloads free. Friend of a friend did maintenance in commercial buildings and had to change the 9v in the smoke alarms every year. 98% of them still full power.
