Hey guys, I need help identifying a smaller battery that's missing from my light-up skeleton... - Mr. Havens Oct 3, 11:20 [Attachment] 10

        Same. If it had been a long slot "oh just multiple AAA batteries" but I've only ever used devices with 1 button and wouldn't think to stack them. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 11:39
        
        *blush* I'm the idiot. Of course that was too easy. Yay, Max -- nm - JD Oct 3, 11:35 1
        
        Occam's razor and all that. Far more likely to be a bunch of common batteries than one we've never heard of and had to wiki :) -- nm - oblique Oct 3, 11:39
