[57north-discuss] Fake CR2032 batteries

[Tony Travis]

Hi,

Every single one of the CR2032 batteries Iain bought from "Pound-Land"
for the 2U Rackable Opteron 200 servers that I donated to the Space went
flat shortly after I fitted them :-(

That might explain why the motherboards failed to POST...

As you know, I bought ten new 12x13" server motherboards to replace them
before realising the Space can't afford the electricity to run them -
Never mind, I'm donating them to Tom for his research at UoA.

Back to the main topic of my message: I had *NO* idea how widespread
fake CR2032's are on eBay/Amazon never mind PoundShop. I'm looking for
genuine name-brand CR2032 replacements if anyone has recommendations?

Caveat emptor!

  Tony.
