Lee's Christmas batteries

A superb - and superbly shot - line up of Christmas battery finds from Lee, who managed to capture a quite fantastic rare silverback AAA KINGKONG, a solo Great Power and a couple of oddly-sized others. Nothing we got for Christmas took CR2s or 23As. What kind of odd presents were people giving you, Lee?

And shame on Rocket for pretending to be a "green" battery. "Ultra green" clearly only refers to the colour of the battery, not its environmental credentials.



"Me again, the guy that puts an alarming amount of effort into battery photos. It's certainly a cause for concern. Anyway, please find attached a shot of the Christmas battery booty. On the left you'll see a Rocket in AA size, which compares nicely with a previous reader's AAA version.

"My Rocket is veering away from his neighbour - perhaps a wise move considering it's King Kong! Or at least a battery version. Next along is Great Power, an unusually sized CR2. Finally is Golden Power, which is a 23A. I really hope that 23As find their way to popular success in 2008, as at they moment they're seen as a poor man's AAA - ironic considering their higher cost.

"I also have some red Panasonic "not for retail trade" AAs, and a Sonic the Hedgehog fridge magnet. Photos can be provided if you do so desire, but I won't take it personally if you don't care - Lee."
