Are they prone to leaking if left in a flashlight for an extended period of time, or are they relatively immune to that problem?
Do lithium batteries leak?

Everything I have ever read showed them fairly immune to that with the exception of extreme temps.

Thanks.
I just pulled the (mostly alkaline) batteries out of a bunch of lights that I had laying around, knowing that eventually, they WILL leak. I left the lithium batteries installed, in what are mostly my newest lights.
P.S. Only two days until Greengoose Squadron has their Photon Festival. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif Coffee, jerky, and two footlockers full of flashlights - sounds like a party to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

123A batteries can leak and can explode. Cheap imports cutting corners (there have been recalls - even of flashlights containing certain brands)
That's why I only use SF123As or DL123As

Given certain conditions, even a SUREFIRE battery can leak or explode. This is very rare, even for imports.

All batteries have an electrolyte. Some more liquid than others. Some you have to work real hard to get them to leak, but still possible.
