Energizer lithiums should perform well - for the $s.

Just don't put a pile of them in your pocket to fly to the US:-

"The United States Transportation Security Administration announced restrictions effective January 1, 2008 on lithium batteries in checked and carry-on luggage. The rules forbid lithium batteries not installed in a device from checked luggage and restrict them in carry-on luggage by total lithium content."

I gather they aren't the original supplied batteries? My new Citizen watch went "funny" after about ten months. Supplier replaced the batteries, no cost to me, and promised I'd be OK and it has been fine since. I read the fine print in the manual and it says the batteries supplied with the watch will not give normal battery life!

Hi Eric

Yeah, they are the original supplied batteries, so that could be the culprit, although they are Duracell ultras. Dick Smiths has a pack of 4 AAA Lithiums for $20.

seems like a good purchse.
