Hi There,
I have the Vaq, i can only buy one brand of 9 volt Lithium in Australia,
Problem is the battery is too wide to fit the Vaq and get the battery cover back on, i use Duracell 9 volt, buy them in packs of 12, they sell for about $2.20 cents AUS, last for ages and are as cheap as chips,
If you find a battery better cost wise than the Duracell let me know,

thank you one and all for your info. since posting my latest message i have found a local shop that sells them in packs of ten for $30.00 ,which ain't to bad,however they won't sell them individually. if you only want one ,it costs you $5.80. so i'd better dig up a lot of coins.and i have found a new source of ready cash. blowfly.lands hh
