Somewhat obscure and OCD but interesting. I won't be buying any more Duracell methinks.

So what they're saying is don't pay for all those well known named brands. Just get cheapo Kodak ones from Poundland?
There are times when you *need* lithium batteries. Digital cameras with lots of flash need the punch lithium batteries can keep on providing.

Batteries

mmm. Who cares? Does anything even use them any more? The stupid things that come 4 in a box?

I think the last time I used them I had military batteries (they last forever!) that my dad got from work...I haven't spoken to my dad in about 5 years.

Everytime I need some, they've mysteriously disappeared from the drawer. Better check under the bed.

Pfft, they are all plug in and charge these days, like the tooth brushes.

My LG TV controller requires batteries Got it 3 years ago or so, only recently have they been playing up. Means I need a new TV!

Childrens toys need loads of batteries....although I tend to "lose" those fairly quickly!

I use lots of batteries, I wish someone would make some rechargeable lithium AAs.

I bought 4 of these a year back, they've saved me a bloody fortune:

Long overdue Tom, the tech is there and affordable but they do no want to kill off the throw away battery business, it generates billions and billions in revenue. Sadly they are an enviromental disaster, we throw billions of the bastards in the rubbish every year, resources we could reuse or use more sensibly but all the while creating toxic mountains of stuff that won't break down down for thousands of years or more.

This is much funnier if you've seen Coupling. Plus it has the added benefit of reminding you of Sarah Alexander wearing very little.

My mp3 player uses tiny batteries 'cause i'd rather have a new mp3 player every 6 months if need be for 3 years, then spruce out for one with a charger. Cheaper and same result
