## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=BOK-25431:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/BOK-25431:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
- **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt
## Description

Don't let batteries get you down, learn all their secrets with this 24 page zine of batteries, power, and cool facts about how to make your circuit GO!

"Batteries are everywhere, and people use them all the time even if they aren't building DIY electronics. I think that's one of the reasons they are often under discussed - because they are so familiar. But there's a lot going on inside batteries, and I'm going to share with you some things you may not have known, to make your circuit powering experience smoother!"
