Sorry, the link isn't working for me, use your best judgement. Try it again. Jeanette Isabelle

i've had ag13 (and many other button batteries) corrode on me, in or out of date. If the doll still sings, is that a sure sign that her batteries have not corroded? Or do I open her box, negating being MIB, to be sure the doll is protected from corrosion? so follow CM's advice: remove all batteries, or check for leaks often (if i leave batts in something, i check monthly) I can test her once a month, which I did last night; that is the most I can do without opening her box.

If you test the doll and she fails, the damage may have been done.
Here’s a thought: Can a battery that’s just starting to leak still function enough to appear okay? Then a month you check her again and she fails but it’s too late, the contacts are already corroded. You can do the safe thing and remove the batteries now, or keep her new in box a bit longer at the risk of damage which you can’t fix.
My recommendation: open the box gently, remove the batteries, check to ensure there is no corrosion and then place her back in the box. Your call.

I believe you are right. In case anyone is wondering, the lowest price on eBay for the same doll, MIB, is $239.00. The original retail price was $29.95, six years ago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Its-a-Sm...UEAAOSwai1Z589J Jeanette Isabelle

Wow! A valuable doll! Probably I'd take the batteries out but that's just me.

Thank you, everyone, for your help. I opened her box and removed her batteries, just in time. The batteries began to corrode; not enough to damage the doll. I put her back in with little evidence that the box was ever opened.

Whew, just in time! Even opened it's better than being damaged.

Not only will alkalines corrode and ruin your gear, they are also considerably more expensive than NiMH batteries which can be recharged something like 500 times. Just do the math....

What I should have done was check her once a month by activating her singing mode? I don't believe that would have made a difference either way since there was no way for me to check her batteries without unsealing her box.
