Scottie, I was talking to a postal employee today and I brought up the situation with you about all the stamps you put on my package.

She said to tell you to leave a note for your carrier to take one of your dookicky pkgs., weigh it and let you know how much postage you need. She also said that the P.O. caries 65 cent stamps, and it shouldn't cost much more than that.

Gotta keep my future hubby from spending money unneccessarily....I'm gonna need it one of these days:laugh:

Scott, that really is awesome of you to do what you are doing bro. Kudos to your efforts.

I have a question for you and others with AW IMR battery knowledge:

After reading this thread, I found a multimeter in my basement that I never used before, so I pulled it out, set it up and checked a battery that I used all day. It had 3.9 volts. I checked my "backup" batteries that I bought, charged and put away. They have 4.19 volts.

Are these readings typical? Is it possible that I am barely draining my batteries? I hear people talk about pulling them at 3.2, that may take days for me?

Also, are you supposed to check them on the REO or out of it?

Additionally, I checked the resistance of my 1.7 carto and It is right at 1.7.

I now have another vape toy to play with and have been thinking what else around the house can I check the readings of! I am afraid to put the prongs on SHCW because it would probably overload the multimeter/and or melt the prongs altogether.

The AW IMR batteries hold the higher voltage longer than others. That is just one perk to using them. The drop is slower to happen. I can tell when mine get to about 3.7 and I take them out and charge them. Did you know that with these batteries it is lots better for longer life to charge them sooner? Don't let them get below 3.5. Top them off and they will last for a long time. I have some that are going on two years old. Still charge to 4.2 and last well.

Good advice that I will follow. Thanks Karen.
