I have discovered a method of extracting the maximum amount of use from this little Penlite cell AA batteries which power small pocket radios, torches and TV remotes. In radios, when these batteries weaken reception becomes faint and distorted and it becomes necessary to replace them. Up until the tie of my discovery I simply threw hem out. Not any more! Even though they don’t have enough energy to provide decent radio reception they still have enough juice left to keep a battery-powered electric clock going for months and months. When the clock does eventually stop months later, the battery can then fairly be considered exhausted and of no further use! My only problem with this has been that I have more half-drained AA batteries presently in hand than I have clocks to put them in!
