Every year, a few days before Christmas, I replace the batteries in my TNC355 with brand new Industrial Duracells only bought from RSComponents, and update the 'Batteries Changed XX/XX/XXXX' label on the outside.

Why that particular brand and that particular source? Because there are so many fakes about it's about the only way of making sure you buy what you think you are buying, and the application is too critical to take chances !

AdeV:
These are Duracells (they call them "Simply Duracell", I assume to differentiate them from all the miriad of spin-off names which mean the square root of bugger all in real life), probably bought on a whim in Aldi.... This is the first time I've changed the batteries since I bought the machine about 4-5 years ago - I actually can't remember when I bought it! Next time, hopefully in another 4-5 years, I'll remember the trouble I had and make sure the contacts on the cells are clean *before* I power it off!

awemawson:
Google Duracell reliability and leakproofness, and the only ones that come close to the 'original' Duracells are the 'Industrial' ones.
