Raided the spares box as I needed a 9v for the kitchen scales.

Pulled out a GP Lithium, Best Before 2021 boasting 5x longer than
alkaline. Scales failed to register. Checked with meter ~ 5v.

Dug a bit deeper and found an Energiser, best before 2014!! 9.2v and
Xmas baking is back on.

Unfortunately I have no recollection of where I bought the GP battery
from, maybe Aldi, Lidl, Wilko. Looks impressive though

GP batteries aren't marvellous but work well enough for many of my
applications.

I get them from CPC - perhaps you did?
