Default OT - Mag light spring contributes to leaking?

HVAC tech told me that alkaline batteries leak when in a partially
discharged state and left in a hot car or service van.

I suspect that the strong spring on the tail cap contributes to leaking.
Puts the batteries under mechanical pressure.

Has anyone else studied this, or got any anecdotal evidence? Are batteries
more likely to leak in a Mag light, compared to out of?
