41 Series Battery Shield - thebullcabinet - 09-07-2004 I recently came across a 41 Series Battery Shield. It fits under the N-Cell holder to protect the calculator from leaking/corroding batteries. It's the first one I have seen. Have I just been asleep, or are they uncommon?

of course these small plastic pieces don't protect the calc from getting corroded contacts.
These nice plastic shields were produced for a while in

Re: 41 Series Battery Shield - Matthias - 09-07-2004 Cool, the same question I wanted to as this forum today. I also got such a shield two days ago and I never have seen this before...

Re: 41 Series Battery Shield - thebullcabinet - 09-08-2004 Thanks for your response, Raymond. I don't know how effective it is at protecting the calculator, but the instruction sheet that came with it, says, "Your calculator has been fitted with a shield to prevent corrosion damage which might result from leaking alkaline cell batteries." So apparently this was an original purpose, whether it actually worked, or not.
