says... 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 haven't had that problem either. I've had the occasional Energizer leak; I've had a lot of Kirkland (Costco) batteries leak, but only those that were lightly used and lasted a long time in the equipment; but I've been using a whole lot of Ray-O-Vacs over the past few years (I buy the AA batteries 30 at a time) and no leaks. Opening my battery drawer, I'm slightly low; I've got 2 D, 14 C, 4 9V, 39 AA and 20 AAA left. Incidentally, I cut my AA use *greatly* by using NiMH in the DX-398. -- "John Kerry unveiled his newest campaign slogan: 'A mind is a terrible thing to make up.'" -- Jay Leno |
