Solid state electronics should last a very long time even in circuit as long

buy some cheap calculator (from casio), destroy them and use they solar
cells, they cost about $ 2,75 over here. I don't sure if they work well
for BEAM applications but this is that I have in my hands for my BEAM
projects right now.
