Mine is catch as catch can...or when a flashlight, range finder, GPS, camera, rifle or pistol weapons sight/lights or hand held radio doesn't work or is scheduled for more than routine stand-by duty I replace batteries.
I use D, lithium AA and AAA, CR123 and various coin sizes such as CR 2032...over my lifetime to date have ruined a few D cell stand-by flashlights but that's it.
Today was the day to check power up/ battery strength and look for corrosion - other than replacing a weak 9V in a Leica range finder and removing AAs from an unused Holosight think I'm good to go. I do replace AR and AK batts semi-annually.
Outside of having spare batteries at hand, curious if others had battery experience,rotation or testing routines that worked well for you.
Best.
