Unless you have just arrived from the other side of the galaxy (where such
problems do not exist), you know that so-called 'leak-proof' batteries (even
those with fancy warranties and high budget advertising) sometimes leak.
This is a lot less common with modern technologies than with the carbon-zi
One other warning for ya. Do not leave batteries on your end
tables. Tom did this a long time ago. The batteries leaked and
ruined the finish, and left a big divot in the table. Luckily I
had a book, just the right size, to cover the damage.
Gee, why do you have this 1975 Readers Digest here
hahahaha
I like the beginning of this.
But I must say, that the "industrial" batteries I use in my teleportation
device; (yes I am from the other side, the advanced side, of the galaxy)
use these batteries and I think they are much safer than "standard" type
for any gear for which we care.
