By the way, for Leica to state, you can go through 100 , 36 exposure films is ok at the start, but what about after half a year, or if you haven't used the winder for a long time. My mobile, it uses the same kind of batteries as does my portable pc, lasted for about a week without recharging on receive. now it lasts 24 hours. That is the 3rd pack I am using. In a few years time, when Leica decides , the batteries are no longer made, what then. Custom made batteries are bullshit. Especially rechargeable ones. Long live AA's. You can even buy them in Upper Volta. Regards Horst Schmidt
