As caregivers, we all love a good deal, especially in this economy. Shopping at one of the various dollar stores (The Dollar Store, The Dollar Tree, The 99 Cent Store, etc.) can shave quite a bit off your monthly household and care giving budget.
The battery chemistry has 3 types: NiCad, NiMH, and Lithium-ion. NiCad, or NiCd, battery is used in older cordless drill tools. They are the least expensive, so almost all inexpensive cordless tools use this type of battery. There is one problem with this battery. It's toxic to the environment. So when it's time to dispose the dead NiCd battery it's a problem.
It seems the Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks were prone to damage due to their prototype batteries. There are no reported fires or injuries to operators as a result of the damage. Chrysler is testing a lithium ion stocks powered battery since the third quarter of 2011. The project was expected to run through 2014, but no plans have been made to extend the testing.
When it's time to buy a new lithium ion battery, be sure you're buying one that's new (as in recently produced). Just like fruit has a shelf-life, so do batteries and just like you want to buy fresh produce, you also want to invest in "fresh" lithium ion cells. Check the date-code on the battery or packaging to ensure you're not buying a pack that's been degrading for a year on some shelf.
The United States also minted a.9999 fine (24 karat) 1-oz legal tender $50 gold coin. Once the legislations were signed by the then President Bush, the approval was given to release the coins. They sport the designs of James Lithium battery stocks Earle Fraser who designed the buffalo nickel back in On the front of the coin is the famed Indian Head design and on the reverse is the equally-famed buffalo design. The coins will be placed in individual capsules for its protection. This is a little different from that of the American Eagles gold coin which is packaged twenty in a tube.
Apple has an official out-of-warranty battery replacement program Lithium mines Ontario for shipping in the United States(see Europe and Canada pricing The policy requires that you send in your iPod any model and Apple will change the battery and ship it to you for plus handling and shipping. Technically, Apple in reality exchanges your whole unit with an equivalent original model or factory-refurbished model in a brand new cover, with its own 90-day service warranty; if it was previously engraved by Apple, it will be engraved again.
My drill of choice that I would say is the best cordless drill is the Makita BDF452H model. For under two hundred dollars, it is a must buy. It features a fifteen minute battery charger and lithium batteries. The drill is extremely lightweight. It is very comfortable in your hand, that it feels like an extension of your arm. It is a very powerful drill and great for any construction project.
Grooming items are iffy but worth checking out. Shampoo is a decent find as are scrubbies/loofahs. Items like Chapstick and Vaseline can often be found there and my very favorite soap (Yardley oatmeal and almond) is almost always available at the dollar store. Nail files, packages of combs, tooth flossing sticks are of value. Skip the cotton swabs (too flimsy and could be dangerous), make-up (due to lack of regulation), and make-up remover pads (can I just say UGH!?).
