Has anyone had any *personal* experiences of leaking NiMH batteries?

I have not yet, but I'm just wondering if NiMH batteries are less likely to
leak versus alkaline batteries.

The reason I'm asking is this:

I've had an old home stereo remote control (non-replaceable) that has had
it's battery contacts slightly messed up do to leaking alkaline batteries in
the past.

I've now switched to NiMH AA batteries for the remote, and I was just
wondering and curious if they have the same propensity to leak as alkaline
batteries. I'm pretty sure I've read manufacturer's data on NiMH batteries
indicating that they can leak, but I just wanted to get some personal
experiences from people.

Thanks a bunch!

Best regards,

Ken Pergola
