I have this one that I've used for calculating a lot of stuff. But yesterday it just ran out of batteries.
Though other people out there already use apps of calculator in their phone, i literally still have this one.
I wonder if i just buy a new one or just replace the batteries?
Have a nice day

@Letranknight2015 Simple calculators are quite cheap, so it might be cheaper to get a new calculator. Maybe one with solar panels? I've got one like that, works like a charm.

Hello @Torunn My concern now is the battery, I haven't inquire this type of battery yet. Maybe I would just resort to new calculator instead.

Hello @birjudanak Well, it's more practical to use this kind of calculator at work. I think for the moment I'm used the calculator.

Yes we have calculators at work & use them all day long. At home I have one too but I just use my phone as it's quicker for me to do.

@Letranknight2015 Probably because with calculators you can just pick them up and use it and with your phone you have to open your password & search for calculator lol.

Hello @brokenbee I don't have time to solve it manually most of the time. maybe the battery was even more expensive.

@Letranknight2015 I'm actually not sure if you can replace batteries for calculators. I've never been in that position. I sometimes use a calculator like you have or I will use my phone or laptop.

Hello @VivaLaDani13 Maybe I'll just buy a solar one, I got a bad feeling this battery will end up being expensive.

If I were you I would rather use my cellphone calculator. It's handy and not bulky. I could bring it anywhere and it wouldn't be running out of batteries.

I would suggest replacing the batteries of your calculator. Even though I do not own a calculator, I would use one as a back up to the computer.
