That's interesting. Why do you think rechargeables are so "susceptible"?

Sorry, I meant that any batteries were destroyed in about a week beyond
use, long before they wore out, so replacing them with rechargables would
not be worth it because they would be ruined long before they would be ready
for recharging.

Come to think of it, if I made up a pack that was sealed on the bottom,
it should work. It would keep the bottoms dry so they would not corrode
from the water.

Thanks,

Geoff.
