Ya, i hear you, i don't have the PCC and i am getting by though, i went with 2 of the 78mm manual batteries when i ordered mine, they last for quite awhile, i was a 2 pack a day smoker and they get me by when one dies its on the charger right away and its done charging long before my other one runs out, like yourself im at the computer alot during the day so i think i will likely just get a passthrough and i should be fairly well setup, just keep the 2 batteries charged for when i got out for a day or something, the only place i could see myself really wanting a PCC is if i go backpack camping way off the beaten path but it is winter now and i have some time to solve that problem

I have a usb plug in thing already for my car so i can charge on the go that way if i need to. But still if i had to do it again like i said id just get it all at once in a kit so its cheaper cuz i know eventually, im going to buy it all anyway lol.
