I'm praying some of those prying fingers aren't preying on the unfortunate. -- Cheers Oldus Fartus

Great another item to make items be REPLACED more often. Considering the amount of battery operated equipment where I have had to clean or re-bend the contacts to make it work, this looks like a scheme with VERY flimsy mechanical mounting. The actual forcing I have seen putting batteries in the RIGHT way round in many pieces of equipment, tends to distort the terminals. I don't see these terminals lasting more than 2 insertions, and for quite a few pieces of equipment the extra tracks uses up space used by other tracks/components on the other side. Generally the battery compartment area is kept clear of tracks (possibly a ground plane) to avoid ingress of foreign objects or knives to extract batteries. This as usual may well make more problems than it causes, for minimal benefit. -- Paul Carpenter | paul(a)pcserviceselectronics.co.uk <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/> PC Services <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/fonts/> Timing Diagram Font <http://www.gnuh8.org.uk/> GNU H8 - compiler & Renesas H8/H8S/H8 Tiny <http://www.badweb.org.uk/> For those web sites you hate
