A bowel or a bowl
Christ!!!
Edited that post.....putting car keys in a bowel is a whole different type of party 
Like this?

Ffs Dan, I sent you those in confidence
I had a theory that low power Zinc Carbon batteries would be more suited to holding vram charge for 12 months, without risk of leakage.
Just found this on a machine after 6 months...

Not good... trying lithiums next.
Are these Lithiums too risky, good price but could they be knock offs?

I asked same thing earlier in this thread, seems risky, im going to go the Maplin route, seems a bit risky saving a few quid to potentially cause £££ if they leak after 6 months
Yeah you're probably right not worth the risk, although never heard any bad reports about any dodgy lithiums even if they did fall off the back of a lorry...
The main thing is keeping the machine on when changing batteries to keep the high scores
Just about to try these...
24pk from Amazon. Packaging seems solid and they're noticably lighter, so pretty sure they're genuine and not Alkalines in disguise! (we'll see......)

Go on then, what are your bulk prices?
So, after reading all of the above I decided to splash out on some Lithiums.
I had duracells in my 3 Pins making 9 batteries in total.
On changing them Three of the 9 had started to leak! I also know for a fact that 3 batteries were only changed last Xmas.

No problems with the Li-Ions so far!
Update..
3 years on, no signs of leakage or swelling and never had a problem with lost settings.
Moving the board to another pin so will continue to use these.

Thanks for the update !! 3 years and still going strong , beat's them Duracell hand's down !!
4 year update...!
Still good. No sign of leakage and scores still held. Voltage on each cell 1.72V and the same under load (not that there is much!)
