[NJARC] Building a B Battery for a portable

[Louis]

As to using button cells or carbon-zinc cells from Harbor Freight, 
don't! Yes, they are cheaper than other outlets but a year after I had 
bought a pkg I needed to replace button cells in another project and 
found many of the cells had leaked inside the Harbor Freight pkg they 
came in. I then culled through the Harbor Freight display at the store 
and found other batteries leaking. Buy Energizers or the like from an 
eBay seller or ShopRite when on sale.

Yours is too important a project to ruin it with cheap cells, spend the 
bucks for something less likely to leak. Learn from the mistakes of 
others, you'll never live long enough to make them all yourself.
