      Just in case you guys haven’t heard of this place,

      You can get cheap AG13 LR44 batts from here:

      It can take as long as 3 weeks to arrive though…

      Cheers

      That is very cheap! Nice find, but are they nasty?

      I’ve picked up 15 pairs of nice maxell lr44’s in Bali last week for 5000 rp a pair 8000rp= less than $1 au. These are the same batteries a watchmaker gouges $5 for at home.

      At my local Crazy Clarks I found a sheet a batteries that has 3 AG1 to AG12 size cells and six AG13 (lr44) size cells. It only costs $1.50 and the ag13’s run great in my q-steer, but I don’t have any use for all the other sizes lol.

      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

      ^^^ wish N put an ‘off’ or ‘suicide’ button on those

      we used to pocket them to skool and if ever the Game A or B got hit
      you’d be breaking the classroom silence with bit-bit-bit-bit bipbipbipbiiiiip
