The lady called with the sad news, her dog ate (chewed beyond salvage) the remote control unit.  Fortunately the dog was OK.  She salvaged the AAA size batteries from it.

From the remote, or from the dog?  :roll:

FWIW I buy the batteries for my workplace from McMaster-Carr. We use a lot of batteries and although we use all sizes, AA account for almost half. Up until a couple of years ago they were all Duracell, now they are mostly Energizers with "C" and "D" being Ray-o-vacs. Maybe they knew something.

Her Royal Highness may be powered by Duracell, but then again she has ladies-in-waiting to handle any leaks that may arise. :o

OK,

Now I am totally confused.  :scratch: I thought it was the Energizer bunny that kept going and going and going?
