    I use some fairly wierd ones in 'wireless temperature sensors' .......... they are about 20mm in dia and 3 or 4mm thick ........ I use 4 a year at 6.00 euro's each and found my local Jewellery store to be the best source but I've often wondered if I'm paying over the odds :confused: ....

    Sources I'd usually try for small batteries would be:
    Jeweller's stores because they usually sell watches that use small batteries.
    Some Motor factors/car part stores have a selection as well because a lot of those car alarm/door lock remote zappers use similar small batteries.

    pound shops do the hearing aid batteries but the the old coin batteries are not cheap - must be some place that does bulk CR3032's at a reasonable price

    maplin sells a wide variety. put the battery code into the search thing on their website http://maplin.co.uk and see if they sell the ones you want

    Peats in town do them too... and jewellers will also stock the more popular ones (at over inflated prices ... )
