I’ve been back and forth on buying a lithium battery for my track/hpde car. It’s more like $700 for a 40Ah capacity, but should last a decade or potentially much longer. And dropping 40 pounds off the car is a huge deal and much more expensive to do with carbon fiber parts etc.
Do they hold up better than lead acid in cold places?
Lithium ion can't charge in below zero temps without cells taking on damage, so you would want to make sure it has enough smarts built in to ensure it takes that into account and also has a heater built in to warm it up. If using bare cells then you need to setup these electronics yourself with arduino etc.
I think EVs do that, where they have a heater in the battery so when you charge it, it will heat the battery up first before it starts to charge.
Unless it's a Chevy Bolt, then it just catches on fire. That's a feature.
I bought a cheap, $35 Samsung laser printer about 3 years ago. We rarely use it, but it's nice to have a printer when we need it. Though, if the toner ever needs to be replaced, I may just look for another cheap replacement, since a toner cartridge is probably more than the whole printer. I hate that the business model for many printers is to sell them cheap and charge up the wazoo for toner/ink.Had to order a printer. My less than three year old printer decided it no longer wanted to work. Epson support decided that I needed to send it to a repair center. It’s out of warranty, so I passed. Amazon says my new printer won’t be here until March. I ordered a laser this time around. I’m done with inkjets, and went with HP this time. I work from home these days so I need a printer. I guess Staples is in my future for the next few weeks.

Yeah, I'd certainly go for knock-off toner before trashing it, provided the toner isn't too expensive. Otherwise, it would end up on Craigslist and someone else could deal with it.But then the old printer goes in a landfill most likely. I’d prefer to pay a few extra bucks for the toner than trash such a big plastic device. Usually you can find cheaper knock off toner that may or may not be the same quality as OEM but will at least do the job.
Yeah, not paying $1k for a printer my wife and I use <1 time per month on average.The key is to buy a GOOD printer, then it's worth keeping. I kinda want a colour laser at some point, so probably pay a good 1k for that for something decent. But then I'll have it for practically forever.
Nice! Their normal double rye is one of my favorite. Miss being able to get that for $29.99 in Kentucky
Giggity?This came yesterday...
