They are rare, and have extremely long shelf life, but I have never seen specs for discharge rate, etc. The only ones I have ever seen were packed with a fan powered gas mask, but I think you can get them if you shop around. Considering the shelf life of alkeline batteries sold here is less than a year, even the "name brands". It's almost a moot point. We no longer get any batteries from west of us, they all come from Korea, "China" (inside the PRC), Singapore or Hong Kong. Even the Japanese brands (Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba) are made in China, and so are the famous US brands (EverReady, DuraCell). The only one missing is Ray-O-Vac. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Try shorting a rechargeable and see how hot it gets. Try shorting a 9 volt Procell! stand well back tho... Ron

I keep hearing this silly excuse. This is consumer high-street shop level thinking. The whole audio industry is riddled with it. For decades dull black boxes have been shifted with the letters PRO on them, regardless of how tacky they are, never has an industry blown its trumpet so loudly. Do they use alkalines in space? In oil drilling gear that has to go down deep in the earth and stand vibrations? In pacemakers? In aircraft black boxes? Ok, maybe they do, sometimes, but there are lot of battery technologies reached for when mission critical reliability is needed, and I bet most industries don't reach for alkalines. Oil wells reach for lithium thionyl chloride, for example. If long life primaries with extreme reliability are important to people who are so up themselves with their 'reputation' and their expensive hours that are worth SO many batteries, why not buy those? Instead of clinging to one aging method that is highly polluting, use some imagination and explore what REAL professionals with mission critical requirements are up to. Compared to those, the industry that makes such a song and dance of putting microphones in front of delegates at conferences is like the hairdressers and telephone sanitisers that Douglas Adams whimsically crashlanded on some planet along with a captain with a penchant for bathtubs and rubber ducks. >:) While we need entertainment and communication to make life worth living, people used to get by till very recently without having to use so many mics to feel important or get themselves heard. Get a grip. This thread has wound its way round this silly circle for too long, and I should never have got into it myself, but I have, and this is my parting shot. I'll read the flames if I have the patience, but I will try not to get further involved. I admit to using a few alkalines at times, but either where laziness is more attractive than performance, or where nothing else fits yet. If I could change all to Li-ion or lithium thionyl chloride types, I would. Specifically, the only time I justify an alkaline is when I need a PP3 that is ready to use, between long periods of disuse. For anything else, I find another way. |
