Be careful to keep fresh - or NO batteries - in your equipment.
I learned the hard way!
Now I remove the batteries if I don't plan on using anything for a month or more. For equipment I use frequently, I keep fresh batteries in them.
The worst offenders are the type AA batteries. Possibly because I use more of them than any other.
I have lost many a flashlight, good ones, to battery corrosion. Had corrosion problems with meters, radios, etc. Everyready brand has been the worst offender, even within the "use by date".
