That's one reason I only use lithium batteries in remotes that use AA or AAA cells. They cost a king's ransom (well, not exactly), but they last a heck of a long time and seem to hold up well. The remote that came with my 1987 Sony contained off-brand batteries of unknown age. Apparently that TV was also out of service for years. Again, the batteries were working, not leaking, but removed. Two of my mom's remotes were destroyed by leaking batteries.
