I was a bit surprised when that that battery that I picked up at the
recycling depot lasted you a year.

The problem most people seem to have with the cheaper alternatives, is
that while they do the job as well as you'd want them to, they don't do
it for as long as you'd want it to. I think the inconvenience
associated with discovering the battery is unexpectedly flat more often
than say once every 4 or 5 years outweighs the actual dollar cost saving
realised at the time of initial replacement.
