1/2 AA battery Replacement! MoewToast Rev. 2
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-11-12 00:24:35 Do you have an old mac, I know silly questions! Well I have these little PCBs you can get that let you replace the 1/2 AA ticking time bombs with a more reliable and less prone to killing your board CR 2032 IF you want to get one for yourself you can go here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1034101908/meowtoast-rev2-12-aa-battery-replacement
Posted by: TimHD on 2021-11-13 19:29:06 Seems to be restricted to USA-only shipping on that site. Any chance or other place we can order these for the rest of the world?
Posted by: Fizzbinn on 2021-11-13 19:37:02 Does this fit in the factory/regular battery holder? Picture? …never mind just clicked the Etsy link! Very cool! (Does fit in the original factory battery holder). Ordered!
Posted by: joshc on 2021-11-16 06:41:03 I'm really interested in buying a few of these, but there's no postage to the UK. How do I get one? 🙂
Posted by: olePigeon on 2021-11-16 07:55:34 @Geekybit What's the difference between Rev 2 and Rev 3?
Posted by: mg.man on 2021-11-16 08:02:46 How do I get one? Well... as it happens, I'm in the air on the way to the US. I don't know how quickly @Geekybit could get some to Colorado (80525)?
Posted by: mg.man on 2021-11-16 08:13:21 I spotted @Geekybit hasn't been on since Saturday... so... I ordered 2 x "5 packs" of the v2 version (which appears to rock a purple PCB"!). 🤞🏻these make it to CO before my return flt next week.... 😀

Sorry the issue I have is currently the shipping to outside the US is insane, way more like 10-20 times the cost of the MeowToast themselves.
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-11-17 02:42:53 @Geekybit What's the difference between Rev 2 and Rev 3? The Rev 3 are slightly taller than the rev 2, but are cheaper since they are made by a manufacture
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-11-17 02:44:43 I'm really interested in buying a few of these, but there's no postage to the UK. How do I get one? 🙂 So I use to do international shipping but shipping to other countries is very expensive ... way more than it should be so for now I don't want someone to pay literally 10-20 times the price of the meow Toast just for shipping.

What about making a bunch of them for/in Europe and sell them here? I‘m interested too.
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-11-17 02:59:25 What about making a bunch of them for/in Europe and sell them here? I‘m interested too. I would love too, but I don't Know a distributor there, if you have one I would be happy too.
Posted by: iJol on 2021-11-17 03:05:54 I would love too, but I don't Know a distributor there, if you have one I would be happy too. Hm. I can maybe ask in the German community or I’ll do it myself 🤣
Posted by: Geekybit on 2021-11-17 03:47:01 Hm. I can maybe ask in the German community or I’ll do it myself 🤣 So I just double check and it seems like it is roughly 16 USD per MeowToast to ship from the US... Plus there may be additional Taxes. If you want me to put them back up for international sale I will be happy to. My main issue is that it is roughly 16 USD per MoewToast to ship, and that seems fairly steep given they are only 2.50 USD.
Posted by: mg.man on 2021-11-17 03:55:36 As I mentioned... I ordered 2 x "5 packs" of the v2 version ...which I see have been posted and should be on the way to me in CO. Hopefully they will make it before I head back to the UK. @joshc, your name is on a few... a "five" pack? 😀

Posted by: Crutch on 2021-11-17 04:35:43 Oh these are gorgeous! Well done!
Posted by: macuserman on 2021-11-17 07:12:19 Yeah these look great just ordered some as well.
Posted by: TimHD on 2021-11-18 12:45:36 Anyone else in Australia interested in this? Might organise a large shipment for now and then divvy it up locally (as local shipping very cheap - just international shipping has gone crazy at the moment!)
