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.
Another electric car may be the Ford Focus EV which is available in a limited edition. The drive train from the Ford is manufactured by Magna International. Consequently, the Focus may have one hundred mile range and you will be designed with lithium-ion batteries. This car is going to be sold for a price tag around $30,000.
Tesla Roadster first started selling in 2008. It has a price tag of $111,000, it is a two-seater sports car. It is based on the Lotus Elise with a fiberglass body. This car is a rocket, it can accelerate from zero to 60 in under four seconds. It has a range of 245 miles with a massive 53-kilowatt-hour battery pack. Full charge takes 3.5 hours on a proprietary 240-Volt 70 amp charger. It has a very stiff and jarring ride with a very basic interior. It is awkward climbing into the cockpit because of the tall wide sill. The loud battery-cooling fans emit a constant cobalt ontario roar behind you. Tesla is developing a lower cost $50,000+ model S sedan expected to be released in 2012.
At only 6 1/8 inches long and having a weight of 3.4lbs including the battery, you can transport it anyplace. It also arrives with a company bag and tool box, so you can take it anyplace without breaking it.
The Lithium battery stocks-ion battery is light years ahead of the earlier batteries and considerably better than the Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries which are still being used. These batteries are less expensive but the Li-ion batteries are far superior in three ways.
If you use a Lithium mines Ontario ion battery make sure it doesn't come in contact with other metals, as the ions might be disturbed leading to a defective battery. Jarring a battery by dropping your cell phone can cause damage even if the phone looks unharmed. Extreme weather conditions can also spoil batteries. Heaters, ovens, stoves and other hot items can cause a battery to overheat or melt. As with other electronic equipment, cell phones should never get wet. This directly affects the circuit and the battery and causes them to rust.
These can be found at your local PC repairs store in many cases. If they do not have them in stock, they may be able to find them for you. The best news of all is that they will likely be far cheaper than what you would have to pay with the manufacturer. For the most part, you will likely purchase a Lithium Ion battery for your laptop. This is extremely popular and the type used by most manufacturers to date. All you need to do is contact your local PC repairs shop and ask them about any laptop batteries they might carry or if they can get them.
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!?).
