Recent posts have been sans photos because the batteries in India are CRAP!!!
I think when battery companies have a bad batch or find an expired bunch they send them over to India. Even reputable brands don't last very long here. It's VERY frustrating!!!
Anyway, inside our digital camera is a small battery to keep the internal memory of the camera going - like the date and other things. We replaced that battery about 2 months ago - with a fresh new battery that I took out of the packaging myself - and it's already dead. Last week I sent Gopi on a hunt to find two more replacements so we have a back-up on hand for when the new one fails. It's a camera battery so it's not readily available. It took Gopi a couple of weeks to find the last one.
We use AA batteries a lot. India is big on the rechargeable batteries and so we've invested in a lot of those too - but even those aren't reliable. Papa sent a package of American AAs for Xmas and it's just amazing how those toys/appliances just keep going and going and going...
