Guitars with battries

I read on another forum a suggestion that a guitar with active electronics and a battery should be stored without the battery. According to the topic not doing so could lead to corrosion in the controls. Has anyone experienced this ? Does the same thing apply to Rickenbackers with batteries ?

That is true of any battery operated device if it will be in fairly long term storage.

Rickenbackers don't have batteries.

The 381 JK does! Doesn't the 360RM also?

The 381JK, 370/12RM and 380LPZ all have batteries

That's right, I mean't 370/12RM! I forgot about the piezo bridge.
