Didn't those also have cardboard as their case, and the leak was a lovely brown colour.

Yes, and you speak of them as though they don't still make them. They are still sold (as "ultra high power").

Still encased in paper or cardboard as their main form of protection.?

No idea, haven't tried dismantling one recently.

I haven't had to buy any recently no ones asked for them, so I don't buy themn, how is your stock of square AAs doing ?


Zinc Chloride (better), and Alkaline (the ones that actually lasted more than 1 day. I never saw the point in anything but Alkaline, it superseded the two Zinc ones.

I saw the point of NiCds, and of lead acid.

I was talking about single use batteries.

Theere were others silver oxide and zinc air have high capacities and still used.

Only for little coin shaped batteries for hearing aids etc.

and for many other things otherwise they wouldn't be sold.
