You really don't need to worry about rechargeable batteries on those now days....a regular set of AA's can last up to and beyond a year

Battery life depends. I have a Logitech wireless mouse that uses two AA's. The mouse basically stays on 24/7 and a pair of batteries last me around 2-3 months. Previously, I used a Microsoft wireless mouse that used a single AA. That one lasted me around 3 month too. AA batteries are so cheap it doesn't matter about using rechargeables. I typically buy them in packs of 36 at Sam's Club for around $16. The battery life of a rechargeable AA isn't as good as a quality alkaline also.

Ah okay thanks. I googled it a little and got mixed answers.
But, no....you wouldn't want to use those, just your standard AA rechargeable batteries. But you will find yourself recharging a lot. It's maybe the one type of battery where regular packaged batteries are more convenient (and maybe cheaper)

Well, we dodged a furnace replacement with a replacement part for about $300....but now the fridge side of our side-by-side has quit cooling. I pulled out the bottom drawer from the freezer and found its frosted up, so have freezer stuff in cooler with ice while I defrost it. Everything in fridge side is a loss, though. I need a break!

I'm at over 5 months in my keyboard and mouse, it's a newer model (since I broke my old one) that shuts off when not being used

@jseah where do you buy 18650's?
I buy all my LG's from Orbtronics. They have the best prices and multiples of 2 are shipped in plastic storage cases. They're located in Florida, so the batteries get to me in 2 days.

Ugh, that sucks! That's what mine did a year ago and I ended up having to get a whole new one. I really hope yours is a simple fix! :(

Ha! The video I made a year ago yesterday for Vaporesso about the TC issue with the first of the Target mods got a comment on it! A YEAR later!! Of course it was from some azzhat who thinks he's super cool and knows everything there is to know about everything but hey. Glad I could help him feel superior. Obviously he needs those feels.

Well until I replied to his snarky comment, anyway. Now he's probably crying in a corner somewhere...

Not yet...I have some cold air, but not enough.
Well crap. I know exactly how hard that bites. I had NO air, though, anemic or otherwise, so hopefully your issue is fixable. I am so disgusted with the short lifespan of appliances. They are too costly to replace every 7-8 years!!!

We bought this one when we bought our house in Kansas...so it's about 12 years old...keeping an eye on craigslist and FB classifieds.

I about cried when my sister listed hers for sale a few months ago for $150. I would have jumped all over that if we werent' still paying this POC off. I am actually looking forward to 7 years from now so I can replace it. The one my sister sold was a lot like the one I had that broke. I loved that one...

Sometimes I wonder what their end game is. Is it to make you cry or to make you make them cry?? Trolls, right?
I've gotten some weird and random comments on my videos, lol. There was one video I was pretty proud of the quality and how I did everything on it and someone commented "get some confidence" :lol:
