Reply to comment by Njtotx3 in LPT: Pick at least 1 day a year to check/replace/remove dying batteries, not just in smoke alarms. Weather radios, older remotes, anywhere they may leak and ruin devices. And recycle, don't toss the old ones. Time change dates are easiest to remember, or set 1 or 2 annual reminders. by Njtotx3

Those are zinc carbon. Sucky energy density but no caustic leak- perfect for packaging as a starter kit when there is no telling how long it will sit on the shelf before being sold. Goes flat in a minute? Well, you think, starter batteries always blow, but it worked. I'll now feed it alkalines bought separately- and from there, son, you're on your owwwwwn.
