Mains powered clocks are about 2 watts, so will cost around £3.50 per year to run, far more than any battery clock.

Funny that as some of the Grandkids toys will not work on rechargables but are fine on say Lidl double a's.
Despite being a tight-fisted Yorkshireman, I really don't mind paying £3.50 a year for the pleasure of using a clock that is likely to be from the 1940s or earlier when everyone else is using modern battery-powered things. Actually, I also have two clocks and a watch, battery-powered and synchronised to radio signals to keep to time, so I'm not really completely old fashioned or backward!Mains powered clocks are about 2 watts, so will cost around £3.50 per year to run, far more than any battery clock.
I think the voltage is 1.5 so same as the old zinc-carbons your clocks may have been designed for. Which is odd because a lot of other lithium cells are 3.6V
