its crazy how alks drain. i wish i did not stock up on themJust use eneloops and lithium primaries and the voltage shouldn't drop as much during the life of the batteries. Alkaleaks sag a lot more under heavier loads.
They are pretty good up till about half an amp but go downhill fast at heavier loads than that. I use them only in throwaway stuff mostly that leakage isn't a big thing and not worth putting a lithium primary in or a nimh battery.its crazy how alks drain. i wish i did not stock up on them
