The third time someone calls to complain that the alkaline batteries they put in this leaked, they'll wish they used a soldered-in 3V lithium primary cell. Even though that goes against a certain ethos.

They should have added $5 to the price and packaged in $4 of lithium AA batteries.

I agree, I don't want to have to buy batteries separately, bad buyer experience.
