That may be a little exaggerated; I went for my replacement to Trams in
Victoria and they sold me a replacement for around a fiver (if I remember
right- which is probably not so) which is more than Maplin would ask but
not hugely so. I was in a hurry and I hadn't extracted the dead original at
that point, so I needed to be sure it was the right item. Replacing it
yourself *is* a good idea. A dealer charging 25 quid to do it is steep but
not out of the way- you're mostly paying for the handling and labour there.

The photo battery is good news. Next time my PRAM battery takes a dive (two
years to go?) , I'll have a look in my local shop.

I suppose the best way to change the battery would be to buy a G3.
