Hi all,
I was considering using Lithium AA batteries instead of regular alkalines in my TRS Pocket PC-2 in order to preserve the memory for extended periods when the device is not in use. I used to alkalines and they worked for a very long time, and looking back I was lucky enough to never have an issue with battery leak in the device (even when stored in a drawer for over a year at a clip). However, I don't want to push my luck so I thought that perhaps Lithium AAs would last longer and be less likely to leak.
While I have read that lithiums hold a charge for upto 10 years, I was unsure if that would be the case with a slow drain device like the Tandy. Anyone know how long I could expect a set of lithiums to last in a PC-2 when stored?
Also, although I had never heard of the lithium batteries leaking, I was wondering if AA lithiums could still potentially leak over time?
Thanks,
