The digitals might not work properly without a button battery installed, but that's just a matter of changing them once a year or so. If you have few power outages, they should last for a long time.
Hey Mike that is the ones that i have there like 18 bucks at cdn tire i have had them for 4 tears so ya its been pretty good to me , some things in this hobby that you tend to forget when they are going good... So once i get home in 2 weeks THANK GOD. Tammy bought me soem batteries for the 4 times that i have.
