This one arrived today - talk about well packed!. Got the camera out in case it just might blow up (never seem to have the camera running when that happens)

Whats the story on these caps - do they have to be replaced as well?

cheers from Ireland people

14 year old battery!!! - it looked brand new!

......suppose they all do ..... till they mutate into 'mac eaters'

mj- when I first saw the size of the box I was wondering if he sent me 2 or 3 macs - was all peanuts - made some mess alright

or as I like to call it.... clean dirt!!. I got it all cleaned up before herself saw it

ps: got my first portable today.... no power supply...will post a few pictures

Well, I did replace the original Varta battery on my SE with the same brand I've found at Conrad.

It's working great!
