told me that over 90% of cameras submitted for repair, due to battery
damage, had the Cu top brand Alkaline in the camera. I don't know the sales
figures for this brand and haven't seen the "paid for" repair stats, but I
don't think they own the market. So, there might be something to this
report. I've seen others leak but, be careful when using the Cu brand. And
yes, I do use them.
Funny. I've had several leakage incidents, all with other brands of
Alkaline cells. I decided to switch to this brand because I have never
had an incident with them!
I guess my statistically insignificant anecdotal evidence is...not
significant. But I wish the battery manufacturers would try harder in
this area, given the amount of damage it can do. I would definitely pay
a premium for leak-free batteries.
