When alkaline etc batteries are left unattended in electrical equipment for an extended period of time, why do they leak their corrosive contents?

It's not as if they're being drained by the equipment when switched off & this doesn't seem to happen when left lying around individually inside a drawer!


ETA: Clarification.
