Eveready, back in the Zn-Carbon days, used to guarantee that if their
battery leaked and ruined your anything they would replace, repair, or refund.
One seriously damaged an unusual scientific instrument of mine and they
insisted on trying to repair it, though it looked hopeless, and I had expected
them to renege. So I shipped it to them, expecting a renege anytime.
But it came back, untested, looking repaired, cleaned up and several
parts replaced. I turned it on and it worked fine for another 15 years.
(This was not a battery powered device ... the battery was a bias
gizmo floating at some high voltage.) I was amazed.
