Batteries

[derek-33]

how annoying when the constituents of lithium batteries are supposed to be such a threat to the environment that when you want a low cost one to run a not important device ie: a calculator you only want one but have to buy at £1 a pack of 30 the rest being useless for me

Put them away for next time, or sell them on eBay for a profit.

Well that's the problem only 6 out of the 30 (of the same type / number )are any use to me .

cheapo batteries in packs from pound shop, you will find half dont work or have a very short charge left, iv tested packs out with a multimeter, its the same with watch batteries.

that depends on a variety of things but the ones i get last not as long as say a duracell one obviously but at a cost of 3p per battery as opposed to £2.50 per battery i'll change them every two years thanks
