I left an alkaline AA battery in my Kestrel (needed it to work and that's the only battery I had with me). I did not leave it in the unit for long but it leaked and damaged the unit. Would still come on and a couple buttons worked but no functions. Shipped to Kestrel and they verified it's unrepairable and not under warranty, they offered $100 credit towards a new 5700 Elite. Just a warning for others, cost me a 2 yr old Kestrel.
