This is why I don’t use alkaline batteries in any of my lights. 

At this point, all my primary lights are running Li-ion, and all my backup lights are running non-rechargeable Lithium.

I have been getting USB charging flashlights, only have a few (that I use the most) using (rechargeable) batteries.

Had a couple of bad experiences with battery leaking and ruining a flashlight, thankfully they were cheap ones. Not "cheap" as in "bad" but as in "wow, not too shabby for €5" kind of cheap.
