Sixteen years ago I found a small radio, 9x5inches, it had already been sitting in the garage for six years, but it turned on and worked. Its been sitting at my desk for 16years, every few months I turn it on, the batteries have Never Been Changed?
Is it solar powered?...................

Good quality alkalines, haven’t leaked. Shelf life often given as ten years. The small radio doesn’t draw much current which helps.
I still have some truck/marine batteries 11 years old that still test good (used in a solar bank). A few have failed in the same bank although all were subject to the same conditions.
#8 Have you noticed a very old hamster on a wheel inside the radio? : )
That’s because you plugged it on. :p
