HP-12C batteries... Message #1 Posted by gr8patra on 16 Feb 2006, 12:41 a.m. Hi there, I am in the process of buying an HP-12C just as a collecting item. I am a computer scientist/IT developer and I won't use it for anything. (Is this an impulsive purchase?) The seller claims that it takes only one battery. Is that true? I thought it takes three of them. He says that HP started making those with one battery after a while. I asked if he's selling a Platinum edition but he says it's a regular HP-12C. Any ideas on that? Thanks, Patra

Earlier regular HP12C worked with 3 x 1.5V, LR44-like button cells. Newer units work with a single 3V, flat button cell. Same as the one used with the Platinum series. Cheers. Luiz (Brazil)
