4/5 Battery & RuntimeValue

“I bought it at $134, no regrets (besides it dropping in price right afterwards; no, I don't care about going back in to ask for a price adjustment).”

“Personally if I was just starting out I’d probably just save up about $450-$500 and wait for a good snag on a 5- 6 piece set.”
