Can you get me a couple of Unipart Samson batteries, I have had my current
Rangie for 20 years and will probably keep it for that long into the future.
Never having to buy another battery sounds great, particularly when I have
2 - one for the car electric's and the other for the HF Radio (RFDS/VKS737)
and my fridge.  I currently only get about 4 years a battery so that would
have meant a saving of 8 batteries just till now.

I can Pay Pal it for you!!!

P.S. Just kidding - it's a bit too far to travel to get the replacement.
