Long life for batteries are not the whole story. I'd rather have a battery with a short life that didn't leak it's goo and corrode my devices than to have a long life battery that messed up my devices. I have found the biggest destroyer of all to be Duracell. Yes Duracell! As a ham radio operator I have a whole lot of devices that use batteries. Test equipment, portable radios, non chargeable battery operated tools, and others that I can't even remember right now. Many times I have replaced batteries in a device and never used it, opened it up in a month only to find it all ate up inside. These Duracells (more than one lot, more than one occasion) have done this. I know what you're going too say, the device ran them down and they leaked. No, I also had spare batteries in specially made battery carrier keepers that leaked having never been installed in a device and no where near the good until date. I will never buy another Duracell battery.
Also Energizer! It's definitely ironic that these cost substantially more and they leak every time! In many of my cases just after a few years so they didn't even expire and sat there forever. I use a mix and rechargeable batteries for high drain and some cheaper ones such as Rayovac or Tenergy for kids toys. They seem to be good enough in terms of their service life and have NEVER leaked on me. Duracell and Energizer are so notorious for leaking that even their supposedly high end industrial batteries are no better.
Good day. I rarely use batteries. Mostly during emergency and repair work and at the beginning of construction when the 240 volt line has not yet been connected. I have been using batteries for more than 20 years. There were cases when low-grade batteries of the "R20" type worked for more than a year. They give away 95% of their capacity in low-power devices. A few milliamps. Accumulators are not suitable for this purpose due to the high self-discharge current.
I can buy three times more Varta batteries than Duracell for the same price and the quality and capacity are quite similar - I will do some tests in the future.
Title is clickbait; no "secret" is revealed

........ Use Energizer Lithium...... never leak.
Never had Duracell leak on me ever. Over the past 8-10 years, I've used everything. Rayovac leaked the most. Energizer second. And Duracell never

I thought Duracell would be the winner, you can't go wrong with them. Thanks for sharing this.

You mean Dura-Leak
The best option is to use eneloops, 12 years and no need more batteries
😲 batteries don’t have RMS 😖
كل الشكر لك اخي الكريم
كنت اصلا محتار اذا اشتري بطاريات عادية او اخرى قابلة لإعادة الشحن من اجل ذراع التحكم Xbox
