Thought of that, but realised I might have to put
them in cryogenic storage to extend their shelf
life (along with myself) if I want to check the
claimed accuracy of 1 second in a few million
years.
Still I calculate that with the current
rate of inflation alkaline AA batteries will cost
£3,507,229.99 each, if they are still available.
So I'm looking for a good BOGOF offer, and
if I get a few extra make a good profit selling
them on eBay, except the fees will, by then,
wipe out most of the profit.
