> [@sturmhauke](#): > > My battery beef is all those stupid little pill shaped ones that are all subtly different in dimensions and power specs. I need a new one for my car remote gizmo but I can’t find the right kind. Fortunately I have another gizmo with a good battery. YES!!! It’s easy to remember how many A’s are needed, but button cells are too numerous and inexplicably numbered: 396? 337? 352? CR1225? WTF!! You have to take the freakin battery with you to the store and, of course, it’s so tiny, by the time you get there, you’ve lost it in your purse or pocket or somewhere deep, dark and full of crumbs. Even if you did find it, they’d be all sold out of your 3XX. GAAAHHHH! (Um, sorry 'bout that. You hit a nerve.) :o ---

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: You can also get AAAAs [here](http://www.batteries.com/productprofile.asp?detaildesc=false&appid=296614&searchid=296614). But of course that would mean you’d have to plan ahead. 🙂 ---
