Cheap LR44s at Dollar Tree

[Bill (Smithville NJ)]

I have always stayed clear of cheap, off-brand batteries. It's just not worth risking a piece of electronic equipment just to save a few dollars.

For the HP-42S, 17Bii, 12C, 11C, etc., I have been using Energizer 357. I get them in a three pack at ShopRite for around $5. They are silver oxide and work great. Never had a problem with them.
