>Actually R6 is a standard cell (usually zinc chlorid or zinc carbon) or a rechargable cell, LR6 is alkaline. But most people don't know that, I happen to know it since I sell batteries. :-)

I must have stopped reading my batteries by the time alkaline ones came around. The stuff is quite a bore to read... I don't envy you :).
