Hi Anthony,

It can be pretty nasty (when alkalines leak). I had a cheap mountain bike
headlight gizmo that took AAs -- I left them in for too long because I
forget about them. A nice surprise awaited me when I opened up the unit --
had to throw out the headlight gizmo.

I've been pretty happy using them for remotes. I actually thought they would
not last that long due the X% monthly self-discharge rate, but I'm
pleasantly surprised.

Best regards,
