My kids are obsessed with toys. Or actually I should say my 5 year-old is obsessed with toys. If he does something wrong, we don’t need to use any other form of punishment than threatening to take away his favorite toy. He usually says something like.. “Not my Lego Plane!” or “Not my Torr!!!”, giving us the hint of exactly what his favorite toy of the day is. (And yes, it changes Every. Single. Day!)
What’s even worse though – is when he finds a toy that he hasn’t played with for a while and is super excited to turn it on – only to realize that he is unable to play with it ever again because of a battery that leaked. Then we as parent’s get faced with the hard choice: Do we hide it under a bunch of stuff in the garbage and hope he doesn’t notice, or do we buy a new one? We’ve had to make that unfortunate choice a few times, and it has caused terrible havoc in our hearts and our home. Thankfully, with the new Energizer MAX with Power Seal technology we won’t have to worry any more about this problem. 
Energizer is solving for this decades-old, industry-wide issue with Energizer® MAX® with Power Seal technology by harnessing their exclusive Power Seal technology. This innovative battery outperforms leading competitors and gives consumers peace of mind that their devices won’t fall victim to damaging leaks, which can occur when batteries are left in toys and other electronic devices for long periods of time. Energizer® MAX® AA and AAA alkaline batteries hold power for up to 10 years in storage, providing long life for the devices you use most. What’s more, Energizer® MAX® protects devices from leakage of fully-used batteries for up to 2 years, Guaranteed.
I only wish we would have had these batteries back when we first got our InnoTab 2! We had the thing for about a month before it got shoved into a box of toys that rarely gets played with, and when he finally found it again and wanted to play – we had nothing but streams of tears. Completely lost the InnoTab to a leaky battery.
So the next time you reach for batteries, make sure your child’s favorite toy is powered by Energizer® MAX®. Your kids will thank you.
Don’t have time to join us for the party? That’s OK – I’m giving away a prize pack, too!
WIN IT!!!

My worst leaky battery situation was when the batteries in my digital camera leaked so bad that it ruined the circuit board and we had to throw the camera out.
I don’t think I’ve every had batteries leak, but it does seem like there is ALWAYS a toy that needs batteries replaced! It’s hard to keep up.
Cant think of a leaky situation but a different problem i had with my rechargeable batteries – i tried using the charger in a country with different voltage. I had an adapter and obviously wasnt thinking when i plugged it in – it exploded! Scariest thing ever!
They leaked in my pink digital camera it was a mess and trashed
The batteries in my flashlight leaked all over the place. It’s hard to get that crud all off.
Not being able to use our “good” flashlight during a power outage.
We have a radio in the basement for storms, but do not use it other than for that! With the winter storm free….have not used it. Had a storm last week and we had to go to the basement…tried to turn on the radio…nothing. Checked the batteries and they had leaked out all over. Was awful.
they leaked in my new camera i just bought destroying it;-(
I had a nice leg shaver once; the batteries leaked and ruined the unit.
We had a flat tire on a country road, pitch black, no stars or moon and the flashlight we had in the car for emergencies didn’t work because the batteries had corroded. My hubby had to change the tire by the light of matches and a Bic lighter.
The batteries leaked in my daughters bouncy seat, in the part where the vibrating unit is, and it leaked on the fabric and stained it orange 🙁
Several flashlights over the years. The one in the car glove compartment – that was one that when you needed it, it was miserable to find that it was a mess. Remembering makes me appreciate the LED type sealed flashlights we are now using
The batteries in my flashlight leaked and made a mess.
leaked on my desk and ate through the surface, permanent mark there now
The worst for me was just this past month.
When I went to use the remote for our porch air condition the batteries had actually leaked all over the table that it was lying on and had taken the finish off of the table.

Our emergency flashlight leaked in the drawer of a desk my great grandfather made, causing damage that couldn’t be repaired.
The worst leak situation was during Hurricane Katrina. We were in our home when the power went off. I went to the emergency kit and the batteries had leaked all over the flashlights and some of of our emergency supplies.
I haven’t had any batteries that have leaked yet, thank goodness!
I get leaky situations when I go to yard sales and buy toys that require batteries, only to find the batteries are in there and leaked. But, it’s easy to clean up and I guess that’s why you get the bargains.
Finding an old favorite and seeing that the batteries leaked.
I left some batteries in remote control car that hadn’t been used in years. When I opened it up, it had leaked all inside the car.
I have never had batteries leak in anything…
I’ve never had a leaky problem.
I actually found an old kids lantern my dad gave me and I used it for camping. I hadn’t seen it in 8 years and it had been packed in storage. Though the energizers were dead (I used it a lot anyway) they wasn’t leaking. Which surprised me so much! lol
Thanks for the giveaway…leaky battery ruined a new Walkman 20 years ago !!!
Just recently I discovered the remote control to a fan had leaked and corroded the connections.
