          Today I'm checking out the rechargeable LIR2032 batteries (or cells if you prefer) and their charger that I got in a recent mailbag.

          The charger surprised me in a couple of ways.

          Here's where i bought the charger: https://pileofstuff.ca/r/qquks

          And the batteries: https://pileofstuff.ca/r/rbuly
