I change alkalines once a year regardless. Never sorry that way. I also silicone battery holder contacts and often the cell contacts too. External holders like Rich stated are disposable. Whenever I send for holders I get two or three instead of just one. Spares for the future and extras for new projects. They're cheap enough.

I would much prefer leaking alkaline batteries than leaking acid batteries. I find that a Q-tip or two with plain water (add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice if desired) will clean up an alkaline battery leak with no damage. Best to check any battery pack periodically to assure leakage has not occurred. This is particularly true for a pack enclosed in expensive electronics. I put my battery pack in a small case outside of the tuner and it can be a throwaway if damage beyond cleaning (or put it under the faucet and then let dry).

With the amount of alkaline batteries that have leaked on me in the past few years (much more than in all years past) I would remove them if you know the tuner will not be used for a while.? Store them with the tuner so you don't forget them on a trip.
Take care,

Ok guys. Thanks.?
How you are preventing from the leakage alkaline cells damage inside the tuner? I have very bad experiencea with leaked AA alkaline cells and damaged Mizuho radios and other electronics after longer time in¡
