Dying and Dead Batteries

It never fails that when one bad thing happens, more come in a cluster.

The battery in my UPS died recently and it started a chain of battery failures. My camera batteries will no longer hold a charge. The motherboard battery on my mac is getting weak. My laptop's battery won't hold a charge for more than about 20 minutes (kind of misses the point of being portable when I always have to find a plug right away). I have to be really close to my car for my door remote to lock/unlock. Heck, even Marcus mentioned that he thinks he may need to get Watch Batteries soon.

It's frustrating trying to purchase these locally because even the nearby specialty battery store didn't carry my laptop battery when we stopped in. Fortunately we have the Internet and online stores like LowCostBatteries.com to make our life easier. I checked and they carry every single battery I need to replace right now. They even carry the hearing aid batteries that my father uses. I'll definitely be making a purchase from these guys in the very near future.

Do yourself a favor and save yourself the gas money and the headaches and just get your batteries online and delivered to your door. Do something fun, like draining the battery on your video iPod instead!
