remote battery holders are OK if u like modying perfectly good boards.
luckily i have Beaky around to do mine (if i have to do one) but not everyone is lucky enough to have a good mate as apinny tech. when u have alot of machines it is also a pain to do all of the machines. these new batteries will be a good idea. i will still change all my batteries on all my machines every xmas time to be safe.lol
the ad for the new eveready batteries has been on tv quite a bit as well.
