Default Re: Sourcing batteries/cells thought to be obsolete.

If you're stuck for those No.8 3V cells, today I made one up out of a 3V CR2 batter., I taped an AA to it to make the length up as I had some dead AA Lithium cells. I used these as I never mix battery types for safety reasons. I am not sure these would work in test equipment though but are fine for old torches. My local Tesco were selling these off for 51p each, they also had some AAAA cells to at 38p for two. Both lots still in date too.
