Originally posted by titrisol OOF, I bought a strip of Renata SR44 and 384s a while ago in Amazon
Keep 2 of them them in a mini-altoids tin in my camera-bag
And when I needed to buy LRs, they have not been that bad but didn;t last long either
PS I iss RadioShack! their batteries never failed me
I once had a Radio Shack flashlight with Radio Shack batteries.
When the batteries corroded (guaranteed not to or they would replace the flashlight) in the flashlight, I took it back.
They refused to replace it since I had left the batteries in the flashlight... really... so my experience there is not as good...
I have not had terribly good luck with long life on either LR44 or SR44 batteries purchased from large online retailers.
But the prices have historically been so low compared to local shops (1 local battery for about the same price as 4-8 online batteries), I've kept buying them online.
I suspect many of the batteries I end up with are counterfeit or old (despite "fresh" in the adverts... maybe that's like "minty")
And I seem to have accumulated a large number of other tiny electronic doodads that use LR44/SR44 batteries, so I need a lot of them anyway...
