Popular Post AlexRRR Posted December 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2023 I have a small issue, during renovations on my condo someone like my next door who has low tolerance but I dont want to make a big deal about it even if I think he wakes each morning sucking on a lemon....ho he is Thai and rides a Vespa, did I tell you he beat me down 5 flights of stairs me by lift he by sprinting down the fire escape...yes he did, unsociable type, ugly too.....ive since caught him making a bit of noise but im tolerant and haven't bothered to report it to the office on multiple occasion's...like he did... I do dream of his wheels coming off on his Vespa....while driving at 100ks an hour...anyway glue was squeezed into my lock holding up work for 4 days, I will refrain from pointing the finger at him, but he was the most annoyed while works where going on and the chap on the other side of me isn't even here half the time....at the time I was living in BKK so had to you know make time and drive down, place was unliveable during the renos so I stayed at a hotel, I screwed a hasp and staple to the door and supplied my pretty manager with 4 locks and the combination codes...4 locks you say? well if my door lock was glued once why not 4 times? meanwhile pretty manager made sure the lift camera was turned enough to "watch my door" and no more incidents were detected... When the works had been concluded I had an electronic door lock installed........I had become paranoid about my devious neighbour. who knows what tricks he would get up to in the future... Well the battery supplied lasted 1 year, now 6 months on the lock is requesting its 4th set of batteries....ummmm....I need something like Duracell or Everyday long life...did you ever see the battery commercials? at least in Aussie we can get them...yeah is even at DIY and managed to pick up in a store somewhere, but I never seen a decent range of batteries In a shop here anywhere.... Long life batteries anywhere in Pattaya that carries a decent range plz? 1 6 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbour pissed me off....wouldnt even make eye contact for 3 months, still runs when we're in the same area together, IDK or hold grudges nor am I vindictive was just in the mood for some light hearted banter, so I get the death wish from you guys, that's why I steer clear getting involved with expats here....... And sure I seen batteries around but I specifically asked for the long life type, (you should know by now Thais are not good at giving you info) LONG LIFE, people get so caught up in there tiny world they dont ready fully or it dont comprehend so you know....you end up with sarcastic comments when in fact .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 There is a brand of batteries called 'Dildo' that are extra long lasting and powerful, I suggest you ask around for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Lithium thionyl chloride cells are primary cells, not rechargeable.they have a very high energy density and very long shelf life. Cell voltage is twice alkaline celks so one replaces two alkaline be cells in series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSam Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 If you're suspecting your neighbor of stealing / changing your batteries, I will point out that electronic door locks have the batteries on the inside of the premises, not the outside. Secondly, my strong advice to you is to ask your neighbor out for a beer or two, before you find out that making enemies in a foreign country like Thailand is not advisable.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
