Every time our Digital Thermometer stops working, we make a note and going to the pharmacy to buy a new one. This is done partially because we are too lazy to replace the battery, partially because we need to open the Thermometer up to pull the battery and partially, because we simply need to write down the type of the battery ( and make sure we don't lose the paper or email prior to visiting the pharmacy). In the mean time we always fall back to the mercury thermometer that always work and always is more accurate than the digital ones we have.
Today, as one of my cleanup projects, I pulled all of the Digiters (Digital Thermometer) and documented the batteries I need for them... Will try to get them in the city tomorrow. We have following:
2 x Identical Vicks Digiters (have a form of a water drop, with circle digital display that changes colors from green to red in addition to display the temperature). These 2 are ditributed by Kaz, Inc and identified as Model # V966F-24. Just looked them up on Amazon and apparently Vicks called them Comfort Flex Digital Thermometer and priced them at ~ $14).
1 x Vicks Speed Read (no flex digeter, again ditributed by Kaz, model # V911R)
1 x BD Digital Thermometer (Model # 524928, made in China..... ahh... that's why the model looks like the serial, still would be interesting to see their previous 524927 types of this device)
Now I am taking all of these apart to see the batteries and document the type for tomorrow:
- 2 x Vicks V966F-24 use CR1225 battery (lithium cell 3v)
- Vicks V911R uses GP392 (Silver Oxide Cell)
- BD 524928 also uses GP392 (Silver Oxide Cell)
So for tomorrow I will need:
2 x CR1225 and 2 x GP392
