That's a fair and valid observation. The original topic title did make it look like I thought the calculator, and not the batteries that ship in it, was garbage. I don't know why I put the blame on the calculator because it isn't at fault.

I have now changed the title.

FWIW, the calculator has been rock solid since I yanked out those noname coin cells and put a pair of GP cells in there instead.

Thanks for that, new readers will not be mislead and have to read the full thread to grasp the key points. I usually don't ask folks to rename threads, suspecting most folks are not quite as anal as I am and don't want to be bothered, so I'm glad you did it yourself. Thanks!
