Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought 4 of these back in Dec 2012 for emergency preparedness. Once a year I would go over my supplies. and these flashlights were no exception. This year I checked them out and to my surprise all 4 did NOT work. They all cranked ok and the green light indicator lit when cranked, however, when I turned on each one they failed to light. I didn't know what to think. Here I thought I was being preparing for an emergency just to be let down with false security. Well, since they were all bad I thought there was no harm opening one of them up to see it I could figure out what happened. Low and behold, the battery was leaking. I would have thought Eton would have made sure that these flashlight were reliable. Maybe I just bought a bad batch of them. Well, I suppose that I have lost confidence with them and disappointed that a company would sell "Emergence Prepardness" equipment that I cannot rely on, or maybe I'm expecting too much from this product? You be the judge of this. In closing, if the battery has a tendency to leak, why not design the flashlights to have the battery changed out easily? How hard is that?
