Hmm, I've had way more problems with Ray-O-Vac batteries, both in the
old days, and recently, than all the other battery brands put together.

That's strange. I have a drawer full of Ray-O-Vac batteries; I've been
using them for years now. The only good rechargeables I have are AA
Ray-O-Vac NiMH. Ray-O-Vac are my second choice after Eveready, but
they're much less expensive than Eveready.

Ray-O-Vac AA's seem to leak more than all the other ones do. I almost
lost a very expensive handheld when a set I had just bought started
leaking. If the battery indicator hadn't dropped like a rock, I wouldn't
have checked them and seen that 3 of the 4 were oozing nasty looking
stuff out of the - end.

I've had to replace 3 or 4 of the battery holders in handhelds due to
them leaking too. Only had one other brand leak, some "Chenmung" AAA
batts that came with a remote control. I called the warranty number and
they fedexed me a new remote.
