They have been totally functionnal, and they are not rechargeable. They are in my travel alarm clock ever since I bought them. I find it amazing that they have been working for so long when batteries have a shelf like of a couple of years when unused... what could explain them working for so long? Maybe the company would be interested in buying them back from me?

Please, if anybody is in Sweden, can you tell me how I can reach the company?

Alkalyne
Tudor
If they last that long, I doubt the company is in business anymore.. .. they obviously didn't learn the lesson that you design things to break/wear down so you can keep selling new product.
