I usually buy about 10 of them at a time on eBay, much more cost
Cost, convenience, and a little bit of novelty. I've got about 10 machines
in need, and always find myself somewhere where the CR is and the 1/2aa
isn't.

I like this. CR2032's are cheap and plentiful. Any pics available?

They last a very long time. Shelf life is at least 10 years - I have
pulled quite a few out of old Macs and they still work. Current drain is
usually minimal, they last nearly shelf live. Buy quality ones and get a
spare or two depending on how many machines you have. Shop hard.

I use CR2032 in all my old macs. Cut a notch out of a piece of fuel line hose
to hold the case against one terminal and then use a bent copper strip in the
tube to push against the other terminal.

I've got a couple older machines that need their cmos batteries replaced.
Has anyone come up with an alternative to the 1/2aa cmos battery? Is there
any merit to converting to a more common battery (perhaps a CR series watch
battery, or something similar)?
