Cheap Button Batteries

Hadrian

Some home electronic gizmos use these half inch thin 'button batteries'. If you go to High Street shops and supermarkets you can pay ££££'s for each one. Fed up of this I used the internet (Amazon eg.) and got a dozen for the price I'd paid before for one! Also today I found that the shop "B & M" sold 8 in a pack for 99p. :j:j:j

I bought some from eBay and amazon to use in a watch. I've previously paid £12 at a jewellers for the same thing. Good money saving tip.

Just be careful to get the right size of batteries. I needed some for my wee reading light, looked everywhere and found a big pack of about 20 in Poundland. They were all different sizes, and, as I was desperate, I grabbed them, thinking at least some of them would fit. Not one of them did!!! So now I have a pack of assorted sized button batteries in the drawer which don't fit one thing in my house!!
I did, however, find the ones I needed on Amazon, about £2 for 12, and the batteries lasted about 3 weeks in my reading light for about 3 weeks before needing to be changed.

I have to say I have always found the batch packs to be a false economy, usually button type batteries last for 1 year plus (sometimes several years) but the cheap batch pack ones I've never had last even a full year before they need replacing.
