I rather doubt it (hydrogen is an amazingly penetrating molecule!), but if
one such exists, tell us about it - neat trick to file away for future re-

   check if Sears has the right type of battery and are willing to swap it with
   my Diehard. I do remember someone posting on this list a while back that
