Digital scales and VFDs (and YADRO)

Have you got a US distributor yet, Nick? Tom

USA and Canada. Hobbymetrix.com does both markets.

See my explanation of why LR44's are not appropriate:

Thanks, looks like they are just getting started. Tom

That's right. But I don't use them, nor suggest using them. If that was misunderstood. The interface also supplies power to the digital scale, so no need for batteries.

In _that_ business, yes. They are a family run business (two brothers one sister). Nice people talking to and very focused. I had eMail-conversation with then for nearly two months.

One brother is an electronics, the other the software-man. They also do have a small shop. So they know what they are selling. They do have the PCBs since two weeks, and I pushed them to go online, because many didn't want to order from Great Britain.

The mAh ratings for these two batteries on the McMaster site show the alkaline cell to be greater than the silver oxide cell. This is counter to your notes.

Energizer tech data shows them to be the same. There are variations between brands. The alkies definitely droop more in voltage over lifetime than the silver-oxide ones do. I get about a year from an energizer 357 (SR44) in my calipers. They are readily available at Wal-Mart and Radio Shack.
