yea those china jokes are cheap & nasty, they make them to put into OEM china cheap stuff
bought heaps of LR44 in various different packaging, usually $1 for 10-12 strip or $3-5 in a multipack with different sizes
got a whole swarm of little clocks that use LR44s… and they need replacing every 6-8 wks with the cheapos
genuine Energizers go at least 6-9mths in same clocks, Maxell probably longer too (but i ain’t wasting those willynilly)
haven’t had time to play with the Q-steers much so dunno how they’ll run on cheapo batts vs Energizers
i use quite a few LR43s in Nintendo Game&Watch too… and Energizers last a lot longer than the no-names too
