New Eveready Batteries.

[letschat7]

I was doing some light shopping this morning and noticed new Eveready Gold alkaline batteries. 10 year shelf life and leak resistant design. They were almost a buck a battery though. I had some trash three lights this year from leaks. The AAA and D were made in USA but AA was from Indo and 9V was somewhere in asia.

I wish I could get D batteries for a buck a piece. That's pretty cheap.

Oh they were $2.25 apiece. I get Belgian Panasonics for a buck apiece elsewhere though.

Please tell us where.

Local pharmacy.

Fair enough. Looks like I'm taking a road-trip up to Canada.

 

[letschat7]

Only I live in West Virginia. It hasn't been like Canada since 1700 or so.

Darn it.... was hoping to stock up on Maple syrup too.

My coolest flashlight of 2023 was plural. My buddy Ollie McTwist shared his strike of minimag's from the mid 1980's. A plain 1985 model, a camo non painted lettering on the bezel and a GM Parts Fabrication both from 1986. All new in package.

Hey, it happens... Sometimes I wake up feeling I'm in the wrong decade

The 90s were better than now.

Back on topic...these cells started showing up at my local Dollar General a couple of years ago. I deployed the 9V version in all 4 of my smoke detectors 18 months ago and they are all still in service. That's great performance from an inexpensive cell, and I'll buy more when the time comes for new cells.

The 90s were better than now.

And the 80's were even better!
