I recently checked one of my torches I keep for emergencies only to find after only 5 months a leaking battery had totally wrecked the torch.
To keep the torch and the batteries seperate would be in my opinion, be silly and impractical. What do other people do? Check your batteries every week? Change them every month? (an expense I'd rather not have). Are some batteries better than others?
The batteries I used were brand new, as was the torch. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Any suggestions?
