I've read that the silver batteries provide more consistent performace over the life of the battery, which is why I've used the SR44 in the K1000. I really don't have the experience or know how to explain why or if it's even accurate. The 357 is a silver battery but WR's LX goes through them faster than the SR44. The higher voltage allows for a faster drain, perhaps? Anyway, I've got the batteries. The nifty thing about the three pack is that I have one K1000 and an MX on the way, which use a grand total of three batteries! I'll bet energizer never expected that to happen. I still think tire manufacturers would sell their tires in threes if they thought they could get away with it. -- Scott Loveless Born free. Taxed to death.
