I have a lot of trouble with batteries. I use it for the scope, computer,
light (and heater in the cold wx). It's a quiet machine; if we're standing
over it we can converse without raising voices. I generally place it on
the far side of the car so that the sound is blocked. If it's annoying, I
can shut it off. There's no value to being the new boy and be annoying. :-)
