Mark_Tea replied: "As others have said AA batteries are (nearly) universally available. I've forgotten the charger adapter that came with a camera when going on a trip and had to "make do" on the charge I had. If it used standard batteries I could have bought some on my trip.
My Canon camera came with a 16 MB flash card--enough to show that the camera works, but not useful for taking pictures. I'd rather they left it out and dropped the price a few dollars. The camera does have a teeny bit of internal memory to store camera settings, but none for pictures. I'd rather have the pictures on removable media so I can swap cards and keep shooting. I can also take the card to a photo kiosk and get prints made without risking my camera."
Raj replied: "See both AA and lithium has their pro and cons
you can user AA batterties everywhere if no charging provision is there. get some extra AA batteries. Lithium will create a problem there.
Canon provide just 16MB memory card in their cams. Sony gives 32 MB. May be selling accessory separately and earning money."
User reviews - Powakaddy with a lithium battery? I am thinking of buying a new powakaddy. I like the sound of the lithium battery models but they are much more expensive than normal battery versions and replacement batteries are expensive.
Has anyone who uses one of these batteries got any opinions?
Are they worth the extra money?
What is the practical life of the battery (as oposed to the manufacturers estimate)?
honestexpert replied: "Lithium batteries reflect the state of the art technology for powering any electric motor. You must examine your needs and the facility you play at and whether or not you charge the batteries or if a member of a club does the cart barn charge your power cart for you. If you play 18 holes on a course which is not excessively hilly and long regular batteries are just fine. This is especially true if you charge your battery at home. An alternative is to purchase a spare battery and keep one on charge at all times. If you plan on playing more than 36 holes you can keep the spare which has been charged in your trunk and change out batteries after the first 18 holes. In addition there are chargers which work from your car or truck while enroute to the course. Plugging into a cigarette lighter will run down your car or truck battery. If you want hassel free use of your cart lithium is the way to go especially if you are like me and I leave the cart in my car after a round and don't use proper prescribed methods to recharge. It's a must to let the battery run down to nearly dead before recharging. I've read that batteries have a memory which includes not recharging when the battery is half or more of full charge. The practical life is longer than manufacturers estimates but I play mostly on moderate slopes on the course and usually play only 18 holes. You must assume that battery technology is only going to get better with the current emphasis on energy use of alternative methods. The future is smaller batteries with less weight and more and longer power periods. It's not here yet so I suggest you get an extra battery as a stand by if you consider the lithium upgrade too expensive. In addition, the lithium optiion is always available to you down the road. The spare battery can be purchased at any auto supply store but try to find an old trade in when purchasing a new battery. It will save you a few bucks. The unfortunate case is that carts are one of the revenue and profit centers for many golf faciliites and walking is not allowed even with a powered cart at most golf courses I play. Once I stepped up to the power cart with a transmitter I felt like I had a caddy with me. You might look into paying for this option instead of the lithium sysytem. It's more fun too!"
electronics questions regarding Lithium ion battery? I'm new to electronics and learning to solder, etc. And I had a question about the Lithium ion battery in my pda.
Let's say the manufacturer stops making replacement batteries - but I want to keep the device running ... It is a 3.7V Li-Ion with a particular connector. If I found another battery that produced that same voltage, could I cut the wire leading to the connector, and solder on my old connector - and that battery should work?
Thanks
charcinders replied: "Yes, provided the new battery has equal or greater capacity than the old one (measured in milliamp hours, mAh)."
Lithium Orotate Supplements--why are price variances so dramatic? I have one bottle of a lithium orotate supplement, and I am having good results and would like to buy more. The bottle I bought was $40 + shipping. I now see that there are MANY manufacturers, with prices as low as $15.
Are there any ways to distinguish the quality between the manufacturers? Other issues to be aware of? Doses per tablet are similar.
tri girl replied: "You could have purchased a brand name product. This explains the variance in most suppliment pricing. Also, be sure to check the number and dosage of the pills in the bottle you are comparing. You could be comparing vastly different quantities of lithium orotate."
What is your experience with the solar generators that are advertised on the web? They cost about $1500 to $3000 depending on power. A panel, a charge controller, huge lithium battery, inverter.
I'm not asking if the price is right. They sound so sensible I'm wondering why they aren't being offered by the larger manufacturers?
Anyone have any experience?
Thanks!
AltEnergyGuy replied: "Off the shelf units are crazy expensive. The payback is just to long. If you're handy you can build a system for a 5th of the cost.
Check out this site. They have some good videos of home built units and articles that aren't very informative but point to a great ebook I used to build mine own."
Nata T replied: "any system that costs less than $100,000 will never pay for itself before you have to throw it in the trash."
roderick_young replied: "Do you have a link to the particular product?
At today's prices, a $1500 budget wold buy a 300 watt-hour lithium battery (the kind used for electric bikes), a 200-watt panel, with the charge controller and inverter being very inexpensive. The majority of the cost would be the battery, and bear in mind that you could buy several times that capacity in lead-acid for the same money, so it had better be a portable application or something where you really value the weight.
Lithium is a very straightforward battery chemistry, so you really could get close to your 300 watt-hours per charge. That's maybe 5 cents of grid electricity per day's charge, and the battery should last 2 years. Again, you would really need to value the portability, as it would not save money over the grid."
dadof2 replied: "My son and I put together a solar panel this past weekend and we bought the guide from these guys
tinyurl.com/lowcostsolarpanel
He's using it for a class project and I'm just using to get off the grid. I think the cost is too much for companies to have it made for them. If you do it for yourself, I think that's where it's cheap cause ours was really cheap and it's working wonderfully. I replaced all our lights with CFL bulbs too. Going to build one every other weekend."
ericnutsch replied: "Every power solution is a little different. It is hard for large manufacturers to create a product that will satisfy everyones power needs and still remain economical.
The company I work for custom builds grid-tied and off-grid power systems as well as assists do-it-yourselfers.

Hope that helps!"
Amy replied: "Without a link to the products you are talking about, it's hard to give an accurate review. My guess is they are either kits that have been put together from the basic components, the few I saw from a Google search were just all of the components available at any solar equipment provider or an all-in-one device that combines battery, charge controller, and inverter that you plug a solar panel into. They are off-grid systems, which means you can only power the equipment from that battery, if the battery runs out (during a rainy stretch of weather), then you would need to unplug from it and plug into your regular electric. Duracell is rebranding an all-in-one device, except for the solar panel, that is made by Xantrex, and selling it as their own, so the big companies are starting to get into the game.
Something that size is probably just good enough to either provide emergency backup power in the event of an outage or enough for a cabin. A one-size-fits-all system is hard to make to work for most people. We put together kits that are a good starting point, but are often customized to meet the customers particular needs.
"
What type of electric car would you buy? Now that many of the big manufacturers are planning plug-in electric cars for 2010, what type of electric car would you buy?
Consider that and electric SUV would be powered by lithium ion batteries like a sedan.
I would probably stick with a sedan as I wouldn't need anything bigger.
mr_chips11 replied: "I'd go with the future plug-in Ford Escape because it is different than any other plug-in that is coming. You get quality and style that is completely different from a Volt or whatever Dodge is rumored to have created."

Zeus replied: "The Ford Escape is a Hybrid. I myself am a Dodge guy, but I will say buy the Ford Escape; my job depends on it."
Randy C replied: "Heck, I'd buy just about any EV that got 120 MPC (miles per charge). I sat down and figured out what my vehicle needs are and on my "worst" day I'd put on 84 miles and that happens only 1 day a month. I don't need 300 miles of range or that quick 5-10 minute magic recharge. Because I would leave the house every morning with a full load of "fuel". So gassing up during the day isn't required. And for that one day a year I drive to my dad's house 325 miles away, I'd go down to Rent A Wreck, rent a Prius with the dollars I didn't spend on gas the rest of the year and still have a fatter wallet.
I have my eye on a car called the eBox. It has the practicality I need and the performance to make me forget that it runs on batteries. It may not be available anymore, but the Nissan Denki (Japanese for electric) Cube looks like a good substitute. I love the thought of passing gas stations. Reducing my CO2 emissions is just a bonus. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of paying turban wearing zealots to try and kill me and my friends with every dollar shoved into the gas pump."
Does anyone know the market price of Lithium Sulphur Batteries? As I understand, they almost double the energy-per-weight of normal lithium batteries, but I can't find any price information.
I know one of the manufacturers is Sion corp (http://www.sionpower.com/)
Hey maisam, thanks so much for the answer. Interesting data. The question I was actuall referring to here, is what is the market price for which Lithium Sulphur batteries can be purchased? For example, a standard 3.7 volt, 2000 mAh lithium ion cell can be had for about $7: >
maisam67 replied: "The U.S. lithium battery material market was worth more than $3.4 billion in 2000 and grew to over than $5.6 billion in 2006. To put this in perspective, BCC estimates that the entire U.S. battery market was worth nearly $33 billion in 2006 (much of this for lead-acid automotive batteries).
Nonrechargeable (primary) lithium batteries were worth $975 million in 2006 and the world market should grow to a projected $1.2 billion (constant 2006 dollars) in 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%."
