This morning I noticed the remote temperature sensor on my LaCrosse

station was offline. Pulled sensor and opened battery case. Some

corrosion from Duracell batteries marked MAR2017. One cell leaking.

Replaced them after a vinegar cleanup, CRC 2-26 spray and vaseline

wipedown.

Went to wall station to remove batteries for reset. SEVERE corrosion

from the same type Duracell MAR2017 cells in it with both cells

leaking!

Both devices had batteries put in last summer.

Used same cleanup and new batteries. All working but I am seriously in

doubt of what brand to use for future replacements. Rayovac has leaked

on other flashlights etc. so I am trying the 10 year Energizer Max

cells. I used SANYO cells for a long time (with no problems) but can

not find them now. Any recommendations or gotchas appreciated.

Recently... within the last 10 years, I have experienced a number of

DuraCell battery failures.

The batteries leaked with a fair amount of damage to the electrical

device.



I wound up switching to Energizer brand.... no leaks with these.

Almost all of the old reliable brands aren’t anymore.
