A question for anyone who lives on a world that has "AA batteries": how common are they, and how long do they usually last? Seeing as how they power most of my off-world technology- including my newly acquired digital camera- I figured it would be a good idea to find out this sort of thing.

There's apparently supposed to be a heavy thunderstorm tonight- it's odd; we tend to get most of our storms in the summer. I blame this snow. Though, really, I can't say that I mind- I love thunderstorms.

OOC: Because winter thunderstorms are awesome.

AA and AAA batteries are probably the most common battery sizes for consumers today. Lithium AA and AAA batteries are fantastic in extreme temperatures, it will eb useful for you considering the weather of your nation. How long they last depends on what are you using them for.

It will be more useful for you if you use Rechargeable AA batteries, but don't have electricity at all on the fire Nation, right?

You have a digital camera? Oh, so much interesting thing you can do with it.

I asked about AA batteries, that was all. And we don't have "extreme" temperatures here; I don't know where you got that idea.

Yes, I do- I bought one from Apollo.

It's not snowing anymore?

Nice.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It is, some, but I certainly wouldn't consider a bit of unnatural snow important enough to warrant consideration in this matter.

It depends on the brand. ShinRa brand last for about six months, and are widely available.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how much I'd trust "ShinRa brand", but I'll look into it.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

ShinRa products kept Ty Lee from dying.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So could any other hospital equipment. We probably could have kept her from dying here, if it weren't for the cold.

Batteries are everywhere in my world.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Good. I doubted that they were rare commodities, but thought it best to check.

[pandorabox]

... guess so. How do you plan on getting them, though?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Going to a world that has them, of course.

In Archades, we use crystals rather than these "batteries" from other worlds. They run much longer, almost to years.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And on my world, we don't use anything at all. Unfortunately, neither of those options is helpful in this case.

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

That is very interesting to hear. Even the developing nations on Ivalice, and the more land bound use the natural crystal in some way to power their homes.

I wish you luck in your endeavor, in the least.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

We are far past "developing nation" status.

You have a whatsitcallit? Cool!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Digital camera. It captures images- sort of like a television does, but the pictures are unmoving.

I can show it to you if you'd like.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

You would? That would be so nice.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Sure, I don't see why not.

How long they last depends on how they're used. Typically, more complex devices use more power.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I see.

[kendo-taisho.livejournal.com]

They're fairly cheap too. Ya can buy em in bulk.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Considering that I come from a different world, how cheap they are in any specific currency would mean nothing to me. I was gauging their price by their rarity.

[kendo-taisho.livejournal.com]

They haven't made up an interdimensional currency exchange yet?
