A few years back I had a minimag in the state of battery major corrosion. It had Eveready batteries in it, and they had that guarantee, that stated, "if this battery leaks and destroys something we will replace your equipment". I know loosely quoted.
I cut the bat down the centerline with a hacksaw, and pryed open the flashlight case enough to read Eveready. I packaged it up, and off to Eveready. To my amazement they sent a check for around $25. And that was at least 8 years ago.
Do they still have that guarantee printed on each and every battery? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
