I have a tv remote that was working up until 3 or 4 days ago, and its batteries have leaked. I didn't think that was possible.

Remove dead batteries and carefully scrub the battery compartment and
wiring with a 50:50 mixture of white vinegar and water. Don't let this
get to the button pads!
Best if you can take the control apart - usually they snap together so
pry apart with a very thin blade. Or they are held together with Philips screw(s).
Good luck! You may well need a new remote though.
Change batteries once a year on your birthday - you'd possibly be
surprised how many disposible battery devices you have roaming around
your home.

Most TV remotes have power on all the time regardless of the
batteries. Rechargeable batteries don't last for ever. I've never
found a type of battery that does not leak after a few years.
I've had Kirkland, Duracell and Maxell batteries leak IN THEIR ORIGINAL CONTAINERS as well as in rarely-used equipment years under their printed expiration dates. I returned the Duracells and Kirklands and bought Energizers -- which claim to replace any equipment damaged by Energizer leakage. So far I haven't seen a single one leak.
I believe the Energizer guarantee only applies to Energizer Max, not
other types, and probably not even Energizer MaxPlus.

I have never had anything damaged by NiCd or NiMh battery leakage.
Has anyone else?

I've yet to have an Energizer Ultimate Lithium leak.
But maybe I will one day.

The Energizer Max batteries are the common ones available at Walmart and Sam's, equivalent to the Duracells you get at Costco. Good enough. 10 years. Corsair power supplies give a 10-year warranty. -- which we just took advantage of after under 2 years. I wonder what else. Samsung $1K stove had a 1-year warranty. Needed at 8-10 months. I don't care what anyone says about Samsung's quality, if it only lasts a year it's
worthless.

It's nice when a company is proud of what it makes.
I bought a charger and set of Duracells for my Nikon digital camera in
1999 or so. They stopped holding a charge, so Duracell sent me a gift
cert for a new set. Wash, rinse, repeat. I ended up with a set of precharged Duracells (Eneloop-type) which were no better than the
others. None of the rechargeables worked well in my Canon 720IS. I
really want to use rechargeables, but they don't work worth shit,
especially in things not used regularly.

I have not used them. I will try one the next time I need a new
rechargeable in either of my TV remotes.

For low power devices like clocks and remotes, rechargeables do not work well (NiCd and NiMH). They do not last as long and when the device stops working they have been discharged for so long that their internal chemistry is damaged and go high
