Cheap LR44s at Dollar Tree

Silver Oxide cells hold an alkaline electrolyte too, so it would be damaging if it leaks, but they have flatter discharge curves so they might be considered dead and get replaced before they corrode that badly.

Or maybe they come with better seals in the first place, since they cost more to produce in the first place. I'm just guessing here.

In my experience, I've seen lots of common alkaline cells leak but never had the issue with any silver oxide, mercury, nickel-cadmium, or nickel metal hydride cells.
