That sounds about right. We have been supplying Amazon for the entire 2008. Yes it amazing when you think about how many alkalies one Sanyo eneloop battery can replace !. We sell them now on Amazon.com and in our Amazon Safe web store www.eneloopstore.com. Also in Bulk and Wholesale at eneloopstore.pro. Our Goal is to get those nasty Alkaline's out of production!. We want to see the Primary battery replaced with good smart LSD batteries like the eneloop and the Rayovac Hybrid. Also to offset the lack of LSD C and D batteries we do now carry the Rayovac High output C and D rechargeable. These are not LSD batteries but are the next best thing until Sanyo and Rayovac release the C and D LSD.. Lastly we to believe like you that at least the Great State of California should start leading the way with an Alkaline battery TAX. Lenas Post --------------------------------- Lena Says: November 8th, 2008 at 1:58 pm edit Is it true that DepotEco just shipped enough Eneloop chargers and rechargeable batteries to Amazon to replace 2,000,000 alkaline batteries? Way to go! What was the charge to ship the Eneloops? Wouldn’t it cost a thousand times that to ship the disposable batteries? Then you have to pay to send the alkalines to the landfill, if you don’t drop them in the lake. DON’T USE DISPOSABLE BATTERIES! Be clean and green. P.S. My non-Eneloop NiMH batteries do not hold a charge. Now I only buy gadgets that use Eneloop sizes. The spacers help with the old C and D size stuff. Hint: I put freshly charged batteries in my camera and mp3 player when I go out and put the ones I remove in a flashlight or LED candle or other light until in goes dim then I put it in the charger. I have the comfort, if nothing else, of having fresh batteries all the time where I want them. The LED lights are good for burning up the alkalines they stuff in everything now. No point in wasting them. When will they charge a deposit when they sell those things so that people won’t pitch them everywhere? Disposable batteries are the cigarette filters of the twenty first century. rant, rrant rant… Lena,

We are now offering the Rayovac Hybrid line We should have them on our shelves by Friday. Once they are here and in stock we will complete the online listings so you can get you hands on them :). The Rayovac Hybrid line is perfect for the devices that are not super critical like a camera. While they work fine in all devices they don't have as much life as an eneloop. But they are not as much $ as an eneloop. We hope to offer more choices in the Rechargeable battery market. Thus eneloops are perfect for high use items and Rayovac Hybrid line is perfect for less critical devices like your T.V. remote controls etc... For a Computer Mouse or Keyboard. Stick with eneloops. But for your lower drain less critical devices try the new Rayovac Hybrid line.. And thanks for keeping your eye on DepotEco.com Regards. We will post more soon and open a thread on Rayovac Hybrid LSD batteries very soon.. Rhea, yes.. We are now offering the Rayovac Hybrid line We should have them on our shelves by Friday.

They have some good chargers and flashlights. I see descriptions and prices for rayovac hybrids but no pictures. What is the story on the hybrid rechargeable batteries? We will be in the Santa Barbara Channel again next month with an order to pick up when we dock. Are you going to sell Rayovac? They have some good chargers and flashlights.

There is a movement afoot now of lots of new Cash eyed " Green Contractors" These must be avoided or at least watched very closely. The issue here is that these new guys see dollar sings with a good PV system but they are not really qualified to install one. Or they might do a poor installation that looks bad. The Solar conference that used my home was part of a larger meeting of contractors that are looking to start installing Solar PV systems. They wanted to use my house because the install was very complicated here and our system won an award from the City of Santa Barbara for its design esthetic's. IE, We have a Tile roof. We removed the Tile, installed a compost shingle, installed the PV array on top of that, then reinstalled the Tiles. My system appears to be inset in my roof tile. This makes it appear to be almost hidden inside my roof tile while still allowing Air to pass under the Array to keep the system cool. Check with R&M Solar if your in Southern Cal They are 100% the best in the area if not California. So much so that if I move out of state, I will take the contractor to my new home and pay him to install a system there. If I was to move. Thanks for the question , keep um coming.

We just had a Server Fail. This has caused us some major work to redo the products on the site. Right now you might find some that have no pic. or descriptions. We had to reset the inventory when we reinstalled a new server here. So after we get all that back up we do have a Test Camera to stick up. Yes our view is South looking at Santa Cruz Island on the opposite side of the Coast. This looks right over the Santa Barbara Channel. On a Clear day you can see the Eagles flying over the island. Or maybe the Navy using the area for sonar testing!. Anyway.. Keep your eyes on that Still pic on the front page of the DepotEco.com site. once the camera is live we will make that a link to see the images live... Thanks for Noticing. Have a Green Day !.

It is looking good. Does that mean the web cam will be up and running soon? It would be a great aid to navigation in the Santa Barbara Channel to have a real time view of conditions. It looks like you can see the west end of Santa Cruz Island on a clear day. Is that view about south? We pass through the channel a couple of times a month.

Even when Southern California Edison restored power there were a couple weeks of greatly reduced capacity. DepotEco runs on an off grid capable solar system with a grid tie that allows surplus capacity to be sold back to grid. While I was out looking for a gas station with power to their pumps the DepotEco EV (electric vehicle) was being recharged off-grid, FREE. I hear that since then that you have had a solar industry seminar at your place to see your system in operation. Solar power is such a rapidly evolving industry that the number of QUALIFIED designers and installers is as rare as the newest, most cost effective technologies. How does one find the right equipment, and installer? I have heard stories about obsolete parts, roof leaks, battery problems and more. Do you give advise or recommend equipment and contractors? I really don't know where to start - I do know that I want it. Without power business is on hold. This summer I have already lost a week of productive time due to blackouts.
