When a high current device like a digital camera or media player reports that the batteries are dead, don't throw them away. They may have plenty of life left in them and can be used on low current devices like remote controls and wall clocks.

Should we be concerned about battery leakage from these old batteries?
Duracell quantum batteries have power check (press two dots for showing how much energy is left)
After using for high drain devices (like camera or electric toothbrush), there is still a bit of energy left for low drain devices (like clock).
I have always used so called dead batteries to power clocks.
Brilliant. I wonder why they don't write this advice on the batteries packaging 😉
Excellent. Why didn't I think of that?
