Do alkaleaks hold up better in the fridge? (lemmy.world)

Yes they are terrible and enthusiasts should use rechargeables. But for others, there are sane reasons to want to have a few alkaleaks on long term standby. Is the fridge better for this than room temperature? What about the freezer? Related: Countycomm's 1C and 1D lights are on sale again. That is what prompted this question.

Had Duraleaks kill two flashlights within weeks of each other. Batteries were less than a year old.

Fuck Duracell, and all alkalines.

Edit: I take that back. Thank you Duracell for motivating me to get off my lazy arse and read up on rechargeable tech today. Becuase of those bad experiences, I now own only reargeables (mostly nimh), a few 18650, and Lithium primaries.
