It would have cost me the same amount in fuel to drive to Bunnings.

I even bought an energiser battery for my Citizen wrist watch a few weeks ago for only $2.99 inc delivery.
Careful with buying batteries online. Whilst I was in China I was shocked at the abundance of fake branded rechargeable batteries...

One clown even had AA batteries rated at something insane like 4800mah.

They were pretty good rip offs as well...

I should have taken note of the 9v battery I pulled out of our smoke alarm. We have been living here 5 years and it would go off on average once a month from cooking. After a few years I assumed that it was a hard wired unit till the better half calls me to say the alarm is beeping...

Low battery!
