I rang Lego Australia and asked how I could tell if I had faulty ones. They said the only way to tell was that if they broke after a few uses they were faulty. The problem is that I have some sets that are still sealed in the box, so I can't tell if (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi. I just looked in one of the spare parts catalogs in a set I have, and it has a small(er) battery box that looks like it takes one of those square 9v batteries. Is there such a thing? What set(s) does it come in? Thanks ROSCO (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
