Alarm batteries

Anyone sourced alarm (keyfob) batteries?

Tried my nearest big bike shop (Fowlers) today. No joy, but the suggested I tried Maplins, the elctronics place.

Very Nice Man in Maplins most helpful, but despite an impressive looking stock of batteries, they didn't have the right ones. They're the round, watch-type. 3 volts, I think he said. He told me it's a 1220. It's for a Meta 357.

He ended up saying, try Radio Spares, but you'll have to buy a pack of ten

Going to try a few jewellers tomorrow. I'm surprised th3y seem so hard to get hold of.
What's other posters' experience?

Pound Shop - you get about 50 of various sizes for a quid.

Thanks, Nick. It's listed there, so I'll order a couple if I can't pick them up locally.
