The lithium batteries I installed were marked 'Best if used by the year 2020' on

draws VERY little current. Also, Alkaline batteries run the risk of leaking nasty
substances on my beautiful Sun hardware. I don't think Lithium batteries have that
problem.

Any suggestions of a better battery (cheaper,
mostly) to 'strap on' to Sun
NVRAMs? I am going to use AAA lithiums on this machine, which should last
forever, but they're a bit pricey.
Why not just some plain old AA alkalines? You should get a couple of years
(i.e. shelf life)out of each set.
