Doesn’t really matter what type even quality. What matters is forgetting that batteries have been left inside and the potential for leakage.
On older radios, often, there is a bypass capacitor across the battery at all times. If this capacitor is electrically leaking the battery will be slowly discharged inviting chemical leakages. This can be avoided by checking for this “phantom” current flow and correcting it.
