No HA related, but I know there's a wealth of technical knowledge here!
My parents have a simple silver anniversary clock (the type with a glass
dome over it and it has the rotating balls at the bottom - this sort of
thing Image result for silver anniversary clock)
This has been fine for best part of 25 years, however, Dad changed the
battery (as he's done every few years with no problem), it was a brand
new Duracell which has the new integral tester which tests OK and the
clock doesn't run. He took a used battery out of the remote control and
the clock works.
Any reason why the clock doesn't work with new batteries, but will work
with used batteries?
