I very much doubt that they are being phased out Christopher. Market forces dictate the availability of such items. With the global reliance on items such as Maglite torches (now mostly LED) and radios such as the Roberts revival DAB range I can not see these being phased out. Large retailers are probably thinking more about shelf space and reducing certain lines. After all, PP9 batteries are still available and find uses in many types of equipment.
