The electronic age has ushered in plenty of cool gadgets, but keeping them up and running takes plenty of batteries. More AA! More AAA! More 9 volts! More rechargeable lithium! Just a proliferation of batteries that I have a hard time looking forward to a new gadget.
My MacBook Pro is over two years old. It needs a new battery, because the old one's charge leaves me with an hour when unplugged and doing nothing. Thirty minutes if I access the hard drive. It got the new battery.
I just bought a new guitar pedal -- Line6 Verbzilla, for that sweet, wet reverb sound. It needs a 9 volt battery. It got a 9 volt battery. Then I left my guitar plugged into it for 3 hours. It got another 9 volt battery. My other guitar pedals got 9 volt batteries as well. I may have to get another box of 9 volts for next week when I'm done with these.
My iPhone batteries last 20 hours of normal use. I turn off the wireless at work and gain 2 hours. I turn off 3G while sitting in the lab enclosed in metal. I gain 2 hours. And still I have to recharge iPhone every day.
I've gotten sick of my battery issues that I'm taking the charge on the battery of these gadgets to their empty point. For iPhone, I even have to play some of the downloaded games or a movie to get it to shut down.
Batteries! I can't wait for wireless power!
