Now think about how great your cell phone battery was the day you got your phone versus 2 years later.
Apply that to a $15,000 replacement-cost battery in your car.
Yeah, so... unleaded or diesel?

Not quite, the new ones use a non-rechargable lithium battery for power, but like all of the old smoke detectors, they use a tiny amount of isotope for sensing smoke.

Nice to have an article that highlights the power and innovation of private industry for a change. Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need to buy oil from America-hating Islamic whackjobs?
