They're the little round discs that make your ticker tick ... no, not your heart medication, the little batteries inside your watch. Somehow those little blighters seem to go for years

and years without giving up the ghost - there's enough juice inside each one for tens of millions of movements of the hands on your portable timepiece. They were also indispensible for powering those little handheld Nintendo games that took the world by storm in the 80s. Oh Donkey Kong, where for art thou?
