They were new batteries, in use no more than a couple of weeks. One battery
leaked--not the mineral stuff you would expect, but a caustic brown
liquid--caustic enough to remove the silver finish from the battery
compartment cover and the case in the vicinity.

I've never seen anything like it.

The RS salesman looked at the code on the battery carton and acknowledged
that the batteries were recently sold. And, they are clearly marked Radio
Shack batteries. And, the radio is new and clean.

Tonight, I found out that one of the six Radio Shack AA batteries in
my Grundig YB400PE has leaked and caused significant damage to the
case and innards of the radio.


I would be satisfied with a refund for the batteries and a new
radio--since a repair would probably cost more than the radio.



How long were the batteries in there? If many months then it's your

fault.
