Re: Prepare for ‘disruption’, government says

Ok l have no problem with power. However wondering about this . Do batteries last is put in to what ever you want them for but power by the mains? Duracell have a "good for date" quite a few years ahead . Perhaps reverse installed would work . Just thinking it would be easier to locate

My mini DAB specifies NOT to power from the mains adapter if the batteries are fitted.

A lot of modern batteries, especially lithium ones, have very long shelf lives if stored cool and dry. It's all down to them reducing internal power leakage.

Fair enough, as it's for my friend and neighbour, I'll keep them . Wouldn't have a clue were she might've put them

I cant believe with how mad our stupid president is making people that nothing has happend yet!
