   I went to replace the AA in a kitchen timer and found it had leaked out of   
   both ends.   
      
   I think I've had more of these leak in the past year or so than in the   
   previous ten.  Is there something different in manufacture, or am I just   
   unlucky?   
      
   I usually take batteries out of stuff I won't need right away but they've been   
   leaking in a plastic bag anyway.
