This is what I meant when, in the post about "most common calculator", I found really surprising that many old calculators are still in working conditions.

One just need either to put a calculator with batteries for some years in a drawer (because life happens) or a calculator may have difficult to find/adapt battery slots and threfore is not usable anymore.
