The message
from Chris Hodges contains these words:

Since you can get 4xAA for £2 from Aldi (and they're OK - I've had loads
and never a dud or low-capacity) why bother?

I don't put stupidly cheap batteries in expensive kit in case they leak.

I've got a dozen of them and despite abuse by the kids none have leaked
in the year or two I've had 'em.
