Battery Powered (MM #1904)

I truly love technology. But with that love comes the need to keep tons of batteries around the house. I have more battery powered tech toys than most. But batteries are starting to confuse me. It’s not just as simple as AA, AAA, or even D batteries. There are so many variations…

Summer Begins (MM #1895)
