I will be running conventional power until I make up my mind on what command system to buy, probably AFTER the holidays to take advantage of ( hopefully ) sales. In my experience alkaline batteries definitely leak. I was scrubbing out my D-cell Maglight last week after the Duracell alkaline batteries leaked. The liquid acid, or whatever leaked out, actually ate into the internals of the flashlight.
Good call on the ability of my older RS2 tenders ability to charge or not. I was not even thinking of that. I am almost positive it does not. As the original owners manual specified alkaline batteries. Which obviously are not. Whitout the ability to "charge" then the BCR capacitor is useless.
So, isn't there a type of 9 volt ( non rechargeable ) battery that can't leak. I was met with dumb stares and shrugged shoulders when I asked at Walmart...
