+1. Doesn't hurt at all to have an annual reminder to check these things.

I've just been around and actually taken all of the batteries out of my TFs, triggered by reading this thread. Only 2 were leaking slightly, with some slight scaling on the contacts, but nothing serious. A quick scrub with some steel wool clears it right up.

I was somewhat surprised with the 1.1kg of batteries I ended up with after going through all my TFs!
