Farang99 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 My rather superior scientific calculator runs on two LR43 batteries, which have finally died. I thought it would be easy to get replacements, but no such luck. I have tried everywhere I can think of in Phuket and on line, without success, except for a couple of Chinese websites selling made in China equivalents, which i tend not to trust. Any suggestions?

exbikey Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Have you tried the watch repair guy located by the stairs in the car park (the cinema end) in Central? He always managed to find the various batteries I've asked for and if he hasn't got them he maybe able direct you to somewhere that has them.

lopburi3 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 LR43 is also called 186 and RW84 LR44 is just slightly thicker so might fit - or leave cover loose and tape. There is nothing wrong with Chinese made batteries obtained from Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=battery+lw43&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xbattery+lr43.TRS0&_nkw=battery+lr43&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Others were quicker. If you have not visited AMORN or a reputable watch (repair) shop you have not seen it all. Multiple shops will ship them from within Thailand. But requires Thai knowledge to use and shipping almost same as price. Pack of 10 for 60 to 100 Baht. : Edited April 23, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 About half that price direct free shipment from China using Ebay. But will take several weeks normally. My rather superior scientific calculator Have not had such for many decades and do not have a use for it but suspect these days there is an phone app that can do?

KhunBENQ Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Less than 60 Baht for 10 batteries? Have not had such for many decades and do not have a use for it but suspect these days there is an phone app that can do? Absolutely "RealCalc" for Android on my phone. Just one of many I guess.

I do have a scientific calculator and the batteries died a long time ago. My wife was needing one, wants the larger keys and display, so found batteries for it at Homepro.

longball53098 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Lazada will bring them in to you. May take a week or though I am sure. http://www.lazada.co.th/fsh-ag12-lr43-155v-alkaline-cell-button-batteries-10-piece-setintl-5010117.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 More 6x's the price of name brand and more than 10x's the price of ordering offbrand direct on Ebay. This is not sold by Lazada - it is a 3rd party shipping from outside Thailand with prepayment required. Lazada is normally good for local COD type purchase but I would not use for small mail items from China as price of everything I have checked is much higher that using Ebay.
