4 LR44..How long ?

[JL Oliveto]

Hi there list...

Just a silly question...How much I should expect a 4LR44 battery lasts on my Yashi GS ? Mine is working ok but I just don't want to run out of power in the middle of a session...

Thanks in advance and regards

That's why one should always carry a spare one.

Since some time I decided to stick to silver oxyde cells in classic cameras. Alkalines aren't just cheaper - one may think "I will buy another alkaline battery set when needed" - alkalines just don't provide stable voltage over time. And they are off 1.5V very soon, just look at charts. I'm not egghead, but hey, with batteries I have "what you pay is what you get" experience.

Ooops...I answered question which weren't asked...In flickr I have seen post about couple of rolls on new 4LR44....another report more....but look, it should depend on make of cell and how long it were stored on shelf before usage.
