Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I tried to alert you guys to the Rockpals deal in post #1774 and later in post #1820
I fear it’s gone, butt as my late bitin’ granny used to say “There’s more where we came from”
or was that Doris Lessing?

Deal is over. Shoot, must have just missed it. Your granny was wise beyond her 98 yearz:) thank you.

Definitely wise, butt I thought she might be a vampire, biting me all the time
’cepting her teeth were all dull.

Have you seen those tiny little shopping carts on amazon ?? you'll never get a generator in one of those ...What were you thinking ?

They are like the blue phone booths in England, much bigger on the inside. Of course you may have to talk to that odd fellow with the Fez about bringing in anything he is not aware of…

4 Tenavolts AA w/charger $11.90 - again. 30% off (PRIME MEMBERS ONLY?) and Slickdeals code. Just purchased a set.

https://slickdeals.net/f/13371103-4-count-tenavolts-rechargeable-aa-lithium-batteries-w-charger-11-90-free-shipping

$12.86 with tax. Thanks for sharing :beer:

Oh, why the Hell not? Got another set, tnx!

Anyone know how long they last in, eg, an optical mouse or remote-control, etc.? Don’t think I’ve ever seen any “longevity” spex at low low low drains. Can’t recall when I stuck in a set of alkaleaks in my optical mouse at work, but even a few months’ use would be great, vs worrying about having ’em crap themselves in the mouse like I do with alkaleaks.

Your Welcome! :beer:

@Lightbringer - I’ve had a couple in a remote control since Sept. 16. Gets moderate use with cable box. Still going strong but like I believe you have stated, when they’re done, they’re done. They’ll stop working suddenly.

Also. This one is active right now - again. Rockpals 300W “Generator” https://www.vipon.com/product/6526122-

Kewl, tnx!

I might even take to carrying an F2 or that 2×AA LuxPro, then. And always keep the charger in my bag. :laughing:

The sooner I can burn off those hateful little alkaleaks, the better.

Eg, mum was given (no, not by me, as I know better) a handheld “utility light”-looking COB light that takes 4 AAs. Has an angry little reflector light on the side, and you gotta flick through like 8 modes just to turn the damned thing off. Okay, whatever.

So I keep changing AAs when she grexes that it’s too dim, etc.

Last time? Spring was completely eaten away. I mean completely. Nothing but a brown smear in the area where the spring was. :person_facepalming:

And no remaining salt-block, either, so all the still-liquid ick probably oozed its way down into the innards like The Blob™ and did its thing in there, too.

So yeah, like I said, the sooner those hateful little alkaleaks are just a bad memory, the better.

At least that would solve the problem of intermittent performance issues with low alkalines and wireless mice / keyboards.

That is not a deal! Its more than their Amazon price.

Iffn it was their new 500W model….then maybe.

It was $114.00 at the time.

Unnerving, but a Tenavolt crapped out last night in my E03. Was looking for stuff, had it actually on high for quite a while, shut it off and put it down to do something, 30sec later I go to use it, and it doesn’t even turn on. :laughing:

Swapped in my B cell and let the A cell charge, which it did rather quickly. Think I’m going to keep that “system” of A/B cells and just swap ’em back’n’forth.

So… just in case anyone uses them in AA lights, be aware. :laughing:

I checked this in the am and it was not going. However, it said that it would be available in 10 hours and it had a countdown thinggy. Just nabbed it at $114 2 min ago. Soooo, it’s going again- for now, once those coupons are gone, you’ll have to check in until they are available again.

Well got this in the UK 21 September,flat as a pancake, fully charged it showed just about 1500mah went in,at 5 volts, today 15 October flat as Holland with Zero use?

I was just browsing the vipon adds for the usual junk I purchase needlessly, when my girlfriend looked over my shoulder and said, “Wwwwwwwait a second! What the hell was that? Back up!”

She saw this thing… which gave us both a good laugh. :laughing:
