A genuine Procell PP3 has six cylindrical cells which look like a small AAA cell. The ripoffs I`ve seen have flat cells. You can barely tell the difference from external appearances alone - the price should be your guide. Ron(UK)

It may have been Farnell (same company as CPC) I got them from. I use both Farnell and Rapid, whichever is cheaper. Rapid are good for NiMH. 2 packs of 10?

They're most-commonly available in camera stores. They have two or three times the capacity of your ordinary alkaline, I believe, particularly in high-drain applications. |
