AG 13 batteries

I needed some AG 13 batteries for a temperature sensor so I bought a pack of various sized batteries from a pound shop.

Big mistake, they last about 2-3 weeks, the batteries they replaced lasted 2 years.

It might be because the sensor is outside in the cold but I doubt it

Any suggestions as to where I can get reasonably priced AG 13 batteries?

    The pound shop cards are a bit of a gamble - you can stirike lucky or they can be rubbish. Branded AG13s are not expensive on eBay. I bought some unbranded lithium ones (which should last longer than alkaline) there a while ago and they seem to be OK too.

    Look for LR44, that is an alternate designation for it
