At other's recommendations, I've been using the Lithium AAA.
Just saw a commercial on Television in the last couple days by Energizer that stated "Guaranteed not to leak." Given the timeliness of that ad to this post, I did a quick search:
http://www.energizer.com/pages/Guarantee-legal.aspxHere's the verbiage:
----------------------------

Given that the Lithium batteries are only mentioned in the last paragraph I wonder if the first paragraph applies -- will Energizer replace your MPU of the Lithiums leak at their cost, as they would with the MAX batteries mentioned in the first paragraph?
By the way, when you look at the Lithium batter product page,
http://www.energizer.com/batteries/performance-lithium/ultimate-lithium/Pages/aa.aspx, it states "Leak resistant construction"
So which is is? Are they guaranteed not to leak or are they just leak resistant?
I think someone needs to get clarification from Energizer and Energizer needs to write a better legal document!
These damn corporations and their lack of accountability!!!!
