The takeaway from this is that you can’t let dead cells stay in a device. This inevitably ruptures the cell (there is a safety valve to make sure they just leak and don’t explode), and the alkaline chemicals react with the air to form that white-ish crust we’re all too familiar with. Unfortunately, when you continue drawing current from a dead cell, the chemical reaction changes and the chemicals begin outgassing. But that won’t stop you from continuing to draw current from it. Once the battery hits 0.8V, it is fully discharged. As it discharges, it drops in a vaguely linear fashion down to ~0.8V. When the cell is brand new, it sits at ~1.5-1.6V. Here’s a little bit of chemistry info about alkaline batteries. JAG “Duracell - The Sloppy Top Battery” MAN Just a reminder that if you have some battery powered devices around (and who doesn’t?) you may want to take the time to inspect and measure the voltage before you discover your device not only has dead batteries, but has been rendered inoperable. Anecdotal stories from Googling “Duracell battery corrosion” turned up similar tales. Even if you can clean up the mess, in some cases the damage is so bad that the batteries / battery holder gets glued/welded inside of the instrument and can be difficult to extract. My policy for intermittent use electronics is to take the batteries out when not in use, but for things like flashlights, I am almost obliged to keep them in. Perhaps it has been addressed by now, but my largest concern is not losing a few AAs prematurely, but the chemical damage that can be wrought by this problem on your more expensive equipment. We confirmed with Paramount today there have been NO changes made to the packaging on the official Deep Space Nine or Voyager DVD boxes, and senior brand manager Matt Arsulich also shared the information on Twitter this afternoon.Battery technology has been around a WHILE and I find this sort of egregious engineering/manufacturing error to be inexcusable. The bootleg editions, now appearing on eBay and other third-party resellers, feature slipcases that emulate the originals nearly perfectly, but they contain five plastic DVD cases inside instead of the proper three-case arrangement:

The “real” DS9 and Voyager box sets each feature three DVD cases in an external slipcase - two large, ‘Epik Pak’ plastic cases, and a seven-disc case for the final season of each show: The official DEEP SPACE NINE series box set. Now, just a few months after their debut, bootleg copies of each new release have begun to arrive on eBay and other reseller marketplace, which a look of authenticity that may confuse unsuspecting buyers in to purchasing counterfeit copies of each show, for prices nearly identical to the real thing. In addition to their artwork changes, the two box sets hit stores with substantially-reduced price points from their earlier runs on DVD, with each one now selling on Amazon for $95 or less for the complete run of each show. While they aren’t as exciting as a long-desired Blu-ray release, the new 2017 DVD box sets of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager arrived this year with brand new packaging and artwork designs, the first re-release of each series in the United States in over a decade.
