Question Doubt AA and AAA batteries leak

[cloudff7ps1]

Can some AA and AAA battery technology be kept inside the joystick without risking it leaking and corroding everything?

I am not aware of an alkaline battery that will not ever leak. Same for lithium batteries and as an additional bonus, they like to catch fire when they get really old.

No, all batteries are prone to leaking at some point. Batteries self-discharge, which causes a build up of gasses within that will breach seals eventually. The gasses are harmless, but the seals breaching allows for the chemicals within the battery to leak out.

And no, they can't build a battery to contain the gas build up. At worst, you have a grenade. At best you make a battery that's built like a brick, will be expensive, and have less charge within because of the case material needed. Also it's still a grenade.

It's complicated to have the hassle every day when you stop using the joystick, you have to remove the AA or AAA batteries

Unless you use your joystick once every 3 years, you don't need to do this. Unless the battery was defective to begin with or was cheaply made, they won't usually start spilling their guts until they're at least 5 years old.

After 5 years, will it be impossible to keep the AA or AAA batteries inside the joystick because they will certainly leak? Today every day when I turn off the device I remove the batteries

If your batteries still work after 5 years of continuously working you can call the yellow press to report on it...
They will stop working long before they start to leak.

AA Ni-MH battery suffers some type of permanent degradation if its charge drops to 0%, can you keep AA Ni-MH battery with 0% charge for the long term?

Here where I live the temperature varies from 33-35C if I charge the AA Ni-MH battery to 100% and store it, what is the time interval to charge again without damaging the battery’s useful life?

AA and AAA batteries are not rare or hard to find items.
Unless, of course, you live deep in the Amazon jungle.

Why are you storing these things for years?
Use and recharge until they die. Replace.

They can still be expensive enough for some people to care about if they last a year longer (random time) or not.

True.

But I have a selection of Sanyo Eneloops, some of them well over 5 years old, in rotation in various devices.


Putting something on the shelf for X years and hoping it works at the end is a poor way ahead.

Looking in my Amazon history for Eneloop....

2011
2014
2015
2015
2019
2020

I'm fairly certain some of the oldest are still in rotation.
(and they're no longer Sanyo, but now Panasonic)

ALkaline batteries is old news that they would break and leak..
id advice use of lithium batteries or NiMH batteries

 

[cloudff7ps1]

NiMH leak and corrode?

 

[Christopher Magnussen]

no they dont
