Only Alkaline batteries.
- jacquesm 4y agoAnd carbon-zinc batteries too. And at 6V all of these architectures have a nice common multiple (3x2 or 4x1.5).
- lmpdev 4y agoCan zinc carbon batteries just go and die? I struggle to see how they're legal They're one step away from landfill out of the manufacturer's doors
- jacquesm 4y agoYes, they're pretty bad. But they're cheap and that's why they still exist. The number of toys that I've repaired on account of those leaking - unprintable - s is larger than I care to remember. And yet people keep buying them. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same toys more than once.
