Old Panasonic Alkaline Plus Power AAs

[PhotonWrangler]

I was going through an old toolbox today when I ran across a Streamlight 90 degree incandescent light that I'd forgotten about and hadn't touched in many years. I was dreading what I might find inside. Amazingly it still worked.

So I pulled out the AA cells and found they were Panasonic "Alkaline Plus Power," made in Brazil with an expiration date of 9/2026 printed on the bottom. They tested like they were brand new and there were no signs of leakage whatsoever. I was impressed.

Alkaline batteries that hadn't leaked?

That's a fairy tale, like the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.

(I'm being silly, don't mind me.)

@PhotonWrangler I'm amazed that you had alkaleaks in it! How do you explain this major gaff on your part? Sir! You know better!

The explanation is simple; I'm an idiot. In this case, a lucky idiot.

Did it reek?

Lol! Good memory, aznsx. No it didn't, mostly because there were no old Xcelite tools with those smelly plastic handles in it.
