If a product uses one, then it might be okay for a long while, but if you have two or more in series, then you are asking for trouble. At my last job we had a bag full of dead batteries from our mice, and virtually all of them had started ozzing white powder. I've had loads leak. Duracell might be worse then others, I haven't checked. By the way sorry for the trouble you had, I learnt some while back. Also you will find that NiMH cells have a lot of power, and can provide a more stable regulated current than alkalines. Really alkalines are only suitable for low drain devices, such as mice, and even then I wouldn't use them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
