I’ve finally gotten fed up with batteries leaking. This seems to mostly happen with the batteries in my remote controls. A few years ago I stopped buying alkaline batteries to use up my stock. I also bought some rechargeables from Costco (Eneloop).
I’m wondering what your experience has been with rechargables. Do they ever leak is my main question. Also, are there other brands that you would trust, or stay away from? My understanding is the Eneloop is a good brand but of course they’re expensive, even at Costco. But, I’m sure they’re a better value than buying some crap batteries. My main use is with AAA and AA. Is there any equipment that you wouldn’t use a rechargeable? Note, I would never use them in a smoke or CO2 detector. So far, I just have enough to cover my remotes but I want to buy more and move to essentially all rechargeable similar to what I did by going to all LED lightbulbs.
