    We have a Home Depot but not a Target, so I will check that out as well, thanks.

      Your not kidding there between my sons wireless PS2 controlers his other toy, the alarm clock and the wirless keyboards and mice we have we go through a ton of batteries every month too. I gave up on the rechargeable battieries a long time ago as the ones we have around here dont last that long either your always recharging them.

      Sma club has been selling some new batteries by energizer that are much longer lasting made for High Tech Devices .

        My parents always get annoyed at my constant battery-using, but almost everything these days runs on AAs! They bought me a few packs of rechargeables, but a lot of things don't work with them, like my CD player.
        So I also buy normal ones at Target or Home Depot, you can get 24 or 36 packs for not that much.

          Chewy - in regards to post 9...
          Money in the Old Republic, Galactic Empire and New Republic takes the form of "galactic credits standard". This is a universal unit of currency.

          In A New Hope, credits took the form of coins (as thrown from Han Solo to a bartender)

          Luke Skywalker sold his worn-out landspeeder for approximately 2000 credits (the advance fee demanded by Han Solo for passage to Alderaan). Jabba the Hutt was known to pay 35000 credits bounty for live delivery of one of his wookiee debtors. Drinks at a Mos Eisley cantina cost several coins' worth, but the credit value of the individual coins is unknown.
          I can see why it would get confusing...

            I have been using rayovac NIMH AA's for a year and a half, I rotate them frequently between devices, never drain them all the way down, they lose a charge from sitting but seem to have more power than regular disposable ones. All the original 10 are still going strong.

              I used to date a woman whose son was downunder, everything was 50% more there, so she'd buy and ship all presents, I asked why not just send the money, guess the high taxes and import duties inflate everything a lot more.

              He got divorced and deported and came back to live with momma, we broke up a month later.

                NIMH batteries are 1.2 volts, not 1.5. If the device is not made specifically to support rechargeables, typically it will die faster than with alkalines.
                My dad bought me some Rayovac rechargeable Alkalines, but they discontinued those and they leaked (which was why, ironically)
