I've not experienced a leaking incident with
flashlight cells in years. I did loose a digital
caliper last month because an alkaline button cell
leaked . . . but it was a case where the tool was
stored for a long time with a discharged cell. Our
battery powered devices are working tools that generally
don't get stored for long periods of time with dead
cells.
. . . they were great for meters and cameras, not so any more.
I've not detected any 'changes' in these products
tendencies to leak in our regular change-out working
environment. Has anyone else on the list experienced
a messy event with their alkaline cells of any brand?

| Subject: | 22awg fusible link |
Hi Bob:
Building a Bearhawk; using your written guidance on the electrical
system for which I much appreciate. Dynon D180 uses 22awg from shunt
to loadmeter and requires fusible links or fuses. Fusible link
requires 26awg to be 4 step sizes from 22awg. Having difficulty
finding 26awg tefzel after checking BandC, Stein, Spruce. Will 24awg
packaged in BandC part FLK-1 provide proper protection? Rather not
use in line fuses for this.
Also, S700-2-5 switches, wired IAW Z-11 ver. 12 can be used for
either two mags or one mag/ one electronic ignition?
Thank You for all you do,
Scott

Bob, When I had my LSA inspected I found the Duracells in the ELT (dated to
2010) had leaked all over the inside. Later that summer I had a maglite also
taken out of commission by some Duracells. In both cases they were D size.
That was last year. Except for the new ELT in which I have to, I don't buy
Duracell anymore. Going by a study you did a few years back, I buy the
chicom batteries at Dollar General. Can't tell you anything about electrical
characteristics, but I do know that we've never had one of any size leak.

Bob,
I had the Duracell D's in my ETL leak also.
I had the Batterys.com AA cells leak in my Lowrance 2000C. Had
Duracell AA cells swell in my Mag Lite.
Had one hell-of-a time shaking it out. Did get it out though. A bit
of a mess to clean up, but no apparent damage to any of my devices.

Phillip,
Thanks for your response.
Your idea may be correct. Not having the vent hole would cause a problem.
As I recall, the Princeton senders did have a small (maybe a #40) hole
drilled in the side to allow flow. But, I will check photos to see if that
is correct.
Thanks for the idea.

The Princeton Capacitance Sensors I bought and connected to the AF-3400
EM do not work. I've calibrated them 7 times and they still fluctuate
between full and 8 gallons when the tanks are full and fluctuate wildly
when less than full. Perhaps I've done something wrong in the
calibration - I know most errors are installation or operator errors -
but, I tried to follow the AF-3400 instructions accurately.<end
When I installed my capacitance senders I seem to remember having to
drill a small hole at the highest point so that the fuel could drain
back down the tube as necessary. It is possible that you have entrapped
fuel in the tube that is being held there and needs to be released by a
small vent.
