I've had toys that I left batteries in that went years and never corroded. I had a Gundam model that lit up with batteries and it corroded within 2 years.

I think environment and the quality of the batteries affect how likely it is to happen, but dunno the real science behind it. I just took to not storing toys with batteries still in them. Or not putting batteries in them at all since I'm not big on light and/or sound gimmicks.
