Following the 0700 Ops briefing on 5/3/21, I had a conversation with the Ops Chief regarding a batch of both expired and currently expiring AA batteries that had been part of the supply order for the Three Rivers Fire. We both inspected a few flats of the said batteries, and validated that there was a significant amount of leaky/corrosive containers within the cases. We found both Rayovac 24 count plastic contained bricks(5/2021 exp. date) as well as, Rayovac cardboard contained sleeves of AA batteries(4/2021 exp. date) were both showing leaky expopsed corrosion. This is purely meant as an inventory reminder for all national cache systems as we start this early season for 2021.
