And since nobody makes reliable AA batteries anymore the newest ones will probably pop this year too. I’ll be impressed if the detector lasts 6 years.

Im in Germany and haven’t had a leaking battery (except the ones that come with cheap chinese electronics). And I mostly buy the cheap batteries from the supermarket. I just don’t buy batteries, that weight nothing.
