Matt thanks again for the reply....

I feel like my electric knowledge is expanding exponentially, because of these forums....and thanks to everyone else that replied..I appreciate your advice!

Yes in fact the pack that is getting warm is a AA pack.... and the new one I just received is a 2/3A... so I'll see how it does. (Wire's are a much smaller thinner though ?????)


I think I'm going to order a meter... I guess I was just looking for reassurance that I wasn't doing something silly...


and plus this way I can tell my wife that I had to order this cool watt meter because the guys on the INTERNET told me I had to!!!
