This whole thread is actually making me kinda mad now. I had chalked
my destroyed trackpad up to my own failure to maintain the batteries,
although I was surprised because I didn't think they were that old. I
was kicking myself and thinking "well that's what you get old man."
Nothing Apple sell
For me it was always costco duracell. Last year and this time. Different
packs though.
I ordered a set of radio shack batteries so they're on-hand now. I
returned my other duracell pack. I am thinking that duracell is
packaging factory seconds for costco distribution.

Eneloops don't seem to suffer unduly from leakage. So far.
Almost all this stuff is made in China. In China, nothing is ever
thrown away. Including rejects from manufacturers supervised
by "1st-World" corporations... Guess where rejects end up...

You have to create a blank file called NOTE.DO and ADRS.DO before you can use
