Happened to try a seldom-used tv remote control last night, dead.
opened it up, one 2013 AA Energizer battery was fine, the other was
dead and leaking. I stupidly thought that the date on batterries was
how long they were supposed to last if they were not used - shelf
life.


That aside, batteries are not meant to leak anymore. Some of us can no
doubt remember when batteries were sold in two varieties - ordinary, and
(more expensive) leak proof - the point being that the ordinary ones
were pretty much guaranteed to leak when discharged, whereas the leak
proof ones would not. The ordinary ones have long since vanished.

If it's damaged the remote, take the matter up with whatever is the
current name of the company behind Energiser in your part of the world.
