Does it make sense to situate a battery factory in only one country when
your market is the world? One inside the EU can make sense because of
favourable trading conditions within that, but high labour costs there
means the product is unlikely to be competitive world wide.

Incidentally, I've been looking into the comparative costs of alkaline and
lithium and they seem to be priced more or less in direct relation to
their claimed life. And since that claimed life will be a best case
scenario I won't be changing to them for RM use.
