CR2 3v Lithium Battery

Ballyman · 07-08-2009 11:02pm #1

Hi

Anyone know where I can get one of these? I couldn't find one today in the shops (Spar/Mace etc)

They're not a specialised battery are they?

Cheers

Lidl have them also most chemist shops stock them too. They are not generally available

Is that for a Canon camera? 7dayshop.com worth a look

Gunnes or any other camera shop. They ain't that dear compared to how long they last

i received a few of these in a Boffer Bag of Crap offer a few months ago that I'm not going to ever use, you can have some free gratis if you want, PM me your address if you're interested & I'll pop a couple in the post to you

they are a ripp off. not any different to any other batteries except for the shape. everywhere sells them for 8-9 euro each. most pharmacies have them, got 2 in hickeys.
if u dont need them in a hurry like I did u can get them cheap on ebay.

sure they last a long time but so does a 1euro battery in a wrist watch, doesnt mean you should pay 18euro to power your watch.

its a film camera, some dont even need batteries.

Thanks for the offer, only just seen this now. I got them in Lidl in the end. €2.99 each.

I've got a box of them from when I used to use them in my old pentax if you want a couple. Just PM me and I can post em on for next to nothing.

Did you notice if Lidl also have the 2CR5 - need one to test a 35mm Canon EOS 100.

3 quid each in lidl, aswell as cr123A and a few other types.

Had to get a 2CR5 battery in a hurry recently and it cost €18 in Unicare. Picked up two of the in Dixons in the airport this morning for £3.20 each. Hard to justify the price some people charge.

I found a load of them and some other camera type batteries goin cheap so stocked up on them, have 14 film cameras now and most of them take expensive batteries, would be too expensive payin full(Irish) price for batteries.

they are a rip off considering they are the same as any other batteries just that they are packaged differently

Ebay have rechargables CR2 and CR123a

I bought one in B&Q for €7.00 and then found it in a stationery catalogue in work for €0.18! If you don't have a stationery catalogue you'll get it on eBay very cheaply.
