N size batteries
by DeanC on Fri May 27, 2011 9:17 am
Does anybody have any "N" size batteries? I need four of them to test if something works. I have an old calculator I want to sell on Ebay and I want to know if it works before I list it. Don't need to keep the batteries, I just want to borrow them for 5 minutes.

I don't have any but when I needed some last year they where less than $3 a pair at office depot if that helps.
If you're having second thoughts you're two ahead of most Democrats

This is Dean we're talking about. He would probably drive up to Duluth if it meant not spending money

Why, are they bigger than normal size batteries?

It's an HP-41CX in the original box with manuals and the financial module. It's worth a lot to collectors if it still works.

The interweb says they are 1.5 volts, I would think you could tape some wire to a simliar voltage battery and use that.

Rats. I'm looking for a 16C.

It probably would, but I want to verify it works using it as originally designed which will be very important to a collector.

I still use a 12C occasionally.
I still labor under the illusion that I am going to finish the CFA program.

That's the one I used most of my engineering career. I don't have the financial module but I do have the magnetic card reader. All original boxes and manuals too. If I remember a couple of the segments of the display don't work any more.
Great calculator!
I use a HP 48 GX now, I liked the HP 41 better but it couldn't do as much.
Because I care, I carry.
