The speed at which technology seems to evolve, I'm going to start working on a "D" cell cannon. This way come 2025, when there are no longer any use's for "D" cell batteies, we can still have fun with them... ;) BTW, Isn't that Patrick (circa 2025) in the upper right hand corner of their web page? Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:
D-cells with a 20-year shelf life, called "Code Red". They don't activate until you twist the top, mixing chemicals inside the battery, after which they have a normal D-cell lifetime. Non-toxic, waterproof even in salt water, impervious to extreme heat and cold. Put in storage now, would still be good in the year 2025, according to manufacturers claim. Well-priced at: www.sciplus.com stock #36373 $5.50/pr.
I'll be 72 when they expire- looks like I'll need to buy another set at that time... ;)
