When was the last time you changed the batteries in your meter or
camera? If you are like me, you won't remember unless you set up a
system for changing batteries. By having some sort of system, you
won't be left out in the middle of nowhere without electical power.

I always change the small button batteries on my birthday. These
batteries will last longer than this, but why take chances? For a few
dollars you can be sure that things will stay working.

I dump nicads every two years. I don't know how many times I have
recharged my nicads, but have noticed that some time after two years
they stop holding their charge. So, I throw them out and buy new ones
on my birthdays that occur during even years.
