A P.S. to the head lights, but this pertains to any of the battery
items. As I said,
I've got several of the Costco one. One is each of my tool bags, one in each
major tool box, and several laying around the house.
I hate it when I need a battery tool and the battery has leaked and
messed up the
inside. So I've gotten to where I keep most of my items that are
powered by small AAA, AA, etc. in 1 gal freezer bags and keep the
batteries in a sandwich
zip log bag and put it in with the item. Yes, it's a pain to take
the batteries out
when you're done, and put then in when you want to use them, but it
beats having
the battery leak into your item and having to through it away.
Many of the new Li based batteries dont seem as bad, but I really
don't like too many battery operated items. Ususally when I need
them the battery is dead,
even when I have 2 batteries for them. In fact, I think I only have
2 cordless
tools and both are drills, my over 20yr old Makita 9V and a Kawasaki 18V.
It's supprising how you can go quite sometime between uses of some of
your tools, like a stud finder. So I keep that in a zip lock bag
with out the batteries, my
tapeless tape measue, etc.
