Public Service Announcement

LR44 and SR44 button cell batteries are expensive. Radio shack charges $5.49 for one - $9.99 for three. If you give lots of presentations as part of your job, you probably go through these quickly in your laser pointer. If you're a sucker for impulsive, clitoral stimulation - you may go through a lot of these in your Vibratex SnugglePuss vibrator, your silicone Rabbit Finger vibrator, or the ever-favorite Frisky Fingers Silicone vibrator, you've probably been to a few payday check cashing places to keep your supply sufficient to sate your desires. You sluts!

Anyway...I digress. If you take apart a 12 volt, A23 battery, you'll see it is stuffed with eight of those little LR44 batteries. Radio Shack sells two A23s for $7.99; and one A23 for $4.99

So...If you buy the A23 for $4.99, you've just bought yourself $43.00 worth of LR44s!

As much as I'd like to claim credit for this, I can't. My son actually turned me onto this little trick a few years ago. Here's a link to the video instruction as well as photographs.

And here's a link for how to extract AAAA batteries from a 9V battery. The AAAA batteries can be used (with a shim) as AAA batteries in a pinch.
