Lithium Button batteries from 25p each.

Instead of paying around £2 a time use my method.

A trick to get cheap replacement lithium batteries for small electronic items:-

Poundland are always selling off surplus electronic gadjets, quite a lot include expensive batteries, some in the past have even had up to 4 Nimh rechargeables ( gameboy accessories).

At mo they have small keyring bright LED lamps in a pack of 2 for your £1.

The blue, white and green ones each contain TWO 2016 batteries. Split the case apart with a sharp object, and they fall out. Giving you 4 batteries, all loose, plus an expensive LED to give or sell to a nerdy friend. :beer:
So four 2016's for a pound.

The red and yellow ones each contain a 2032 lithium cell.
So two 2032's , 50p each.
