Fake / inert PP3 batteries

Bill · 2011-12-04T20:05:34+00:00

Hi,Does anyone know where I could buy a couple of inert PP3s. I am making a display radio and need a couple to put into it. It will hopefully be on show for many years and so I don't really want to put a genuine battery in as there will be no one to replace it if it leaks with age.I had thought about pulling a couple apart but wasn't sure if I could do it without leaving the case damaged.Any ideas anyone?

A couple of dowels won't pass muster? A bit of paint a bit of tinfoil...
