[TriLUG] OT: Local Store with a good variety of button cells?

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

Got a real charge out of this post. (Sorry: I couldn't help myself.)

I just give up and buy from Amazon 'cause battery sources have pretty much 
dried-up. Even got a replacement for my Verizon FIOS lead-acid backup battery 
there. saving a bundle.
