[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 3183316, member: 530"] Not to argue the point ... I've honestly never paid that much attention to which battery did what. But, my Dad died in October of 2004. Within the last year, going through some of his left-over things, we came across two flashlights. I flipped the switches and both of them lit right up. So, I opened 'em up. Both of them contained Duracells which expired in March 2011 (D cells). No signs of any corrosion. I will grant you that he may have replaced these batteries just before he died ... I don't know. But, I switched them both back on this evening, and they're still going. [ATTACH=full]128641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128642[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
