Batteries

A recent thread about car batteries got me to think about how many devices I have that require batteries and how dependant we are on them. It seems that almost every week I’m going to the closet where I keep my batteries for something.

I'm sure I missed some but here are the devices that I can think of. Anyone care to add to this list?

I work on computers all the time and never saw AAA battery on a motherboard. Almost always CR-2032 lithium. Just a mistake I guess.

 

...my wife has a couple of toys with batteries...lol

 

Lol nice one

 

Yep, fixed it. CR2032. I just put it in the wrong list.
We use several CR2032 batteries.

I'm surprised you didn't question the last remote control AAA. My favorite $1,000 remote control for our Toto Toilet seat.
