I know I've brought this up before, but there is another

advantage of using cheap carbon batteries in stead of

alkalines. Carbon batteries are less likely to burn out

the low voltage lights in battery operated toys. A couple

years ago, I saw a fresh set of Duracells blow out both

eye bulbs in a R-35, OUCH ! If you put a voltmeter across

carbon batteries, the voltage drops considerably when

the toy is switched on. Try the same thing with alkalines

and the voltage barely moves. Carbon batteries are lighter

and generally have a smaller diameter than alkalines. Try

fitting Energizers in the legs of a Smoking or Mechanized

robot... :o

good point - smoking robot - the batteries just dnt fit quit right same with my mech!
