....If you have to invent something that's going to upset the apple cart, it's probably best done at the age of 94!

My spare PRIMARY lithium cells (CR2032, CR2025 etc) are stored in their packets in a plastic box along with PP3's, AAA's etc. Upon opening i am greeted with a sweet smell which i have established (by crushing an exhausted one from a car fob) is electrolyte venting out of one or more of the Lithiums...now i just have to find out which one!
