Guess it depends on what you mean by "forever"!
In Response To: Re: 20 years battery...don't count on it! ()

Yep......this is a similiar system as the one i described regarding my experiences with the Elgin solar powered rechargable battery watches. I'm not sure if they will leak when discharged like a regular battery.......but "forever" it ain't! Elgin makes a similiar claim.

Maybe they should say: "It never needs a battery so long as the rechargable one is working properly" hehe

OR...."guarenteed for the "life" of the watch." (ie....when the watch stops it's "life" is over!)
