[57north-discuss] "Fake" CR2032 batteries.

[Peet42]

 Tony, your linked article talks about the difficulty in finding the "mysterious Chinese factories" churning out the "real looking" batteries.? The reason they look real is because they *are* real, and the Chinese distributors are just buying them at various points throughout their shelf life - there are no factories!

I spent the best part of 20 years as a computer engineer, and one of the hardest things I found to get across to my customers was that they weren't saving money by buying a multi-pack of CR2032s as when the one they put in the motherboard died all their "spares" would be dead too.
