I bought a slew (or is that slough?) of batteries from B&H and stuffed a
few in every Domke 803 I own. How's that for paranoia? The new batteries
last much longer (shelf life) than the old ones, don't leak stuff all
over, and are cheaper from B&H than the local stores. I bought "General
Brand", which ended up being repackaged Duracells. No expiration date on
the new packaging, so I'm relying on B&H's integrity and assuming that
they aren't expired.

I ended up taping plastic wrapped, spare batteries to the camera straps
of my M6TTL and M7. They are so small I never notice them, until the
moment I need them. I've found this system to be the best insurance
against Murphy's law which states that your spare batteries will always
be in the bag you didn't bring that day!
