Button Batteries Australia & why we can't supply them!
Button Batteries are dangerous if ingested.
Button batteries are small & round and easily swallowed by infants.
Button batteries are found in watches, toys, car fobs & many remote controls.
Australia has instituted the toughest button battery laws in the world.
All of these batteries must be supplied to the public in child safe packaging.
As all of our batteries are fitted in store, our wholesaler doesn't supply our batteries in child safe packaging.
This means we are unable to supply loose batteries to the public.
We can supply & fit. But if you wish to fit a battery yourself, you will have to purchase in child proof packaging from a Supermarket or a store such as "Battery World"
The fines for breaching this law would put us out of business.
Thank you for your understanding.
