Dripping with 901 quick question

[whatagem]

Since I began dripping I've had several good 901 auto batteries suddenly go all poltergeist on me--some turn on by themselves when just sitting there doing nothing, some of my newish batts have died comepletely.


Before I make a big 'ol order of manual batteries, I wanted to make sure that dripping won't affect manual batteries.

I've attempted to clean the crazy batteries with rubbing alcohol & allowed them to stand on end for several days, hoping gunk might drip out--no luck. I don't see any other choice but to switch to manual batts if that will correct my batt problem (never had this prob till started dripping)

For Dripping you want to use manual batteries for this very reason. If you use automatic batteries the juice can get into the switch and cause all kinds of squirrelly problems including killing your batteries altogether. Invest in the sealed manual batteries. They are well worth it.

Don't drip with auto batteries, it'll cost you a fortune.

Ok thanks so much--I figured it would be OK with manuals but wanted to make sure before I ordered
