can some one check this on there 123 batt?

put a credit card sized card on top of battery and see if the positve termnal raises above card? on mine they dont. also could i take that plastic ring off top a batt in a pinch?

hect mine is even lower then credit card

my energizer e2 is raised like this:
_______|---+---|________

the positive end raises above the outer part of the battery, is that what you mean raggie

dang thease unversal stink then lol.no wonder some lights wont turn on with em. yea thats what i meant and thank you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif

raggie,
Here's a thread that may give you a couple of ideas.

There's a link in that thread to a cool place that sells tiny "neodymium magnets" with no minimum order. If you have enough of those 'too short' 123's it may be worth while to check if they have a thin enough magnet to make the batt long enough.

Also a drop of solder on the plus pole may do it. I'm no expert, but in that same thread batterystation mentions soldering buttons on flat Lithium-ion cells. I'm just wondering if a drop of solder would work on a 123 -- or be dangerous.

I'd read the whole thread and PM batterystation before I tried the solder idea.

I'd like to know what works if you do come up with something.

update i emaled inporter and they say there going to remedy it stay tuned

If you want some tiny magnets, I will send them to you.

thanks for the offer.but i am hopeing i may got it resolved .thats a very kind offer of you..i didnt even no they made magnets that small

If they don't resolve the problem, they are yours.
