    That doesn’t make sense. Every alkaline cell suffers from this due to the formation of hydrogen gas inside the cell over its lifespan, as well as corrison caused by the chemistry of the cells themselves. It’s not specifically driven by the charge of the cell; although that is certainly a contributing factor and poorly designed circuits will exhibit more wear on the cell causing more rapid corrison & gas formation.
