It's been a while, but I thought "heavy duty"
batteries leaked brown, and crumbly. The alkalines
leak a clear, alkaline liquid.

It's an excellent question, for sure.

I may be wrong but the Endurance battery is a
heavy duty battery.
Not alkaline. That would account for the leakage
more than anything
else.
