#LazyWeb: Anyone happen to know if any of the standard #Meshtastic boxes (LilyGo / Heltec) will run off 3 or 4 AA rechargeable batteries? The big lithium ion batteries are expensive and I have like... 16+ rechargeable AA batteries lying around.

@JustinDerrick pretty sure most people use rechargeable 18650 batteries. There are some kits online to connect various boards to the 18650.

@kd7qot Yup, I have some, but they're not cheap, and I have a surplus of good high-capacity AA's.

@JustinDerrick Build a pack… as long as you’re supplying the correct voltage it doesn’t matter what the source is.
