do i need to buy a gasket and silicone when i change computer battery

[yogavnture]

i like the idea of buying a bunch of o rings . i have a genesis react pro. i guess i could find the size i need from genesis corporate . but they will be onto me and probably want me to buy thier kit. i see kits for 12 bucks but all it is a a battery a o ring and some grease. seems like a rip off..........finally i willl search silicone grease . probably can get a container for me to keep. i think that grease will work good on flashlight seals as well?

Your computer battery compartment uses a size 026 o-ring (70 durometer/shore).

thanks i just bought a pack of ten on ebay for 1.25 $ and 1.25$ shipping. the listing says 026 o ring 70 durameter. it gives the measurements of the thickness etc. but as long as its a 026 o ring 70 durameter. i assume it should fit. and i just bid on a tiny tin of silicone grease for watch repair applications on ebay for one penny and .82 cents shipping. now the battery will cost me 2 bucks . so my grand total will be .83 cents grease . 2 bucks battery. 2.50 for o rings. 5 dollars and change for all. i save at least 4 bucks and will go drink a brewsky with my profits
