Every '90s kid remembers this!
I should go pull the batteries out of my game boy color because I'd rather not experience this again.
and set a reminder to rechage batteries every 3 months.
Yeah, get accu cells. More environmentally friendly and they break without running out.
If the words on the batteries read the same way, it will cause acidic fuzz like this.
* They may have been correctly inserted, and then left a long time, which can also cause fuzz.
Yeap as a reseller happens quite a bit and I found battery that expirebbsck in the 90s in a portable speaker
