And next time you change the battery use alkaline cells devoid of
strange names.

All major brands have been known to leak, even Duracells.


Eventually, but I have never known eveready or duracell to leak unless
they are left for some time (mths, even years) after going completely
flat, the OP should notice this when his RC stops working!!

OTOH some of the exoticly-named cells found in street-markets and
pound-shops seem to have the same kind of lifetime guarantee that
comes with the proverbial watch that slashes your wrist when the
mainspring breaks. "Flying Bomb" used to be a slight hint at the
possible effect of using the same-named cells in equipment.
