713853 2008-10-22 10:21:00 Summer batteries, perhaps . They like to get a bit of a tan???

If they are also wearing short pants, I suspect they're still in school . . .

:D

I suspect they're the portable electricity equivalent of space-saver tyres (that's "tires" for SJ) . . .

713854 2008-10-22 17:59:00 Seems you have not heard of this battery!.
Use only Philips shortened sleeve rechargeable batteries NiMH(RO3/AAA,type number :SBC HB5505.

They are the same size as normal AAA's

713855 2008-10-22 18:31:00 Maybe just regular AAA's with boosted marketing and extra mark-up? R2x1 (4628)
713856 2008-10-22 21:10:00 Philips got all sniffy about music companies putting out Copy Protected CDs that didn't comply with their CD standard but still had the "Compact Disc" logo so why should they be talking about AA or AAA cells that are different in some way. PaulD (232)
713857 2008-10-22 22:07:00 Bit of a mystery,will have to find out,nuisance as I have quite a few AAA charge ables .
Meantime . . . . . . . . . .
Looks like this problem has been with us for a while!!


The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt . People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance .
