I know what you mean. In those aluminum case flashlights (Maglite type) when the batteries go bad not only do they leak but Puff Up (enlarge in size). Then it becomes nearly impossible to remove the batteries without destroying the entire flashlight. The flashlights with the AA size batteries we have to drill out the old batteries. What a mess.
If there was a brand that wouldn’t do that I would definitely buy them.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Subject: [PSES] Where have the leak proof batteries gone ?
Slightly off-topic may be but…..
Since a number of years, professional(penlite and other size) batteries
used in test en measurement equipment in my office
(notably those ofDuracell (Procell)) seem not
to be leak proof anymore.
Inmy younger years (and that is not that long ago) batteries
where sold as leak-proof, an important sales argument.
Is this something of the old days, or is it not
opportune anymore tobuildquality penlites?
I have recently beencleaningfor thousands of euro's
of equipment that after an extended period of no-use
(say 1-2 years) had there battery equipment full of
liquid and white powder.
A spare 9V(new)battery of the forenamed brand
(laying around in my service suitcase) literally exploded
in side.
My Flukeportable power analyser had to be thoroughly cleaned
after its batteries gave up.
The problem seems worst for batteries that do not
actually get used, but empty over time…..
Any recommendations for areliable brand available
world wide ?
