Maybe it's just superstition, but I do feel like the off-brand batteries leak more often and sooner.
Removing the batteries is a good idea, but I'm just not that disciplined. And then I have a big ziplock of partially used batteries and how am I meant to keep track of those for later reuse?

Yes. The battery near the head of the light is stuck and I've run out of ways to get it loose. Next attempt might be pressurized air.
