I’ve never seen one leak, either. CR2032 batteries are ubiquitous. My car fobs, various other electronic remotes, my memory keyer, portable calculator, gate and garage door openers, and several other odd bits around the house use them and others of the same chemistry but different physical size) all over the place. I have allowed to sit in their devices unused for years.
Maybe I live a charmed life, but I have NEVER seen one “leak” and destroy something. (Wish I could say that about AAA Duracells, which were designed specifically to destroy whatever you put them in). I don’t think how-ever-many-thousand K3 radios out there need to be opened up, the 2m module removed, the 2nd receiver module removed, just to make sure the battery isn’t leaking. Of course I don’t use the Cute Kitty (or whatever) brand battery from the cheap imported junk store, either. There’s a tendency to unnecessarily generate a sense of panic over everything … Grant NQ5T K3 #2091 KX3 #8342 > On Jan 15, 2019, at 12:37 PM, Keith Trinity WE6R <ke...@elecraft.com> wrote: > > However, I have never seen one leak in the thousands of K3's I have worked on. > I have only replaced the battery upon request as I have never seen one > actually be dead. > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
