Battery Leakage

[Elecraft mailing list]

Has anyone on this list ever had NiMH or Lithium AA batteries leak?  I have always assumed only alkaline or carbon batteries leaked.

Had some Lithium AA fail.  They smoked and caught on fire.  This was not in a radio.

Threw away a stored RCR123 last week due to leakage.  The light brown oily fluid could be washed off the container but the positive pole of the cell was partially gone.  The other 3 cells were still charged and now in use.

That's the first rechargeable lithium I've seen with leakage.

I like using Lithium-Ion batteries in a variety of sizes.  But having
read about the possibility of fires, I have moved
my spares to a metal ammo box.  My flashlights are metal.  Cell phones
and such are not metal so I try to keep
them away from flammables when unattended.

However, I noticed you said 'Lithium' not Lithium-ion.  Consumers have
been using Lithium batteries for years.
