Hi Daryl!


 BM> It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
 DS>   That's what Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet sang about. <G>

And they are right!  ...Just Jimmy doesn't want to blow a flip flop; 
Alan's boot are a lot more sturdy and so his concerns might be for cow 
poop!


 BM> They used to!  Old-old radios used them. Off-hand don't recall the
 BM> voltages but semi-recalling one was 60 volts.  There are other
 BM> lettered- batteries out there: the big cube (roughly 3x3x4") used in
 BM> the old flashing warning light on road barricades I think were a G....
 DS>   And, I understand the Duracells leak, especially if they're not
 DS> used for a long time.

Sometimes even when used had leaked.  ...Replaced the batteries in my 
toothbrush the other day; first time since replacing.  (Yea! They fixed 
the battery comparment design!)  Black and gold batteries -- know some 
knock-offs will imitate.  Nope: "Duracell OEM" with a big "not for 
retail sale" imprinted. And yup, immediately look for signs of leakage! 
(None - good!)
