With a nickel-metal-hydride chemistry, these Rayovac PL715-4B AA batteries deliver efficient power to a variety of household electronic devices. The low-self-discharge technology helps the batteries retain a charge.

Holds a charge while in storage longer than others

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use rechargeable batteries for photography, music and to power astronomy gear. These batteries are advertised as holding charge while in storage much longer than other brands. I agree with that...they do hold a charge significantly longer than others.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro - 12.2" - 32GB: Whether you're working on the go or simply enjoying your favorite streaming entertainment, this tablet helps you multitask effectively by displaying up to four apps side by side across its expansive HD touch screen.
 

Can it download adobe flash player?

Android doesn't recognize flash but you can run any movies, etc. from inside Google Chrome. It was an issue for a while but they seem to have come up with a work around.

Power point presentations

I teach a lot and most of my material is on power point. Someone else on this forum asked if a projector could be attached and there were conflicting answers. If I got this tablet and put my content on it, could I then interface it with a standard VGA-type connector to an LCD projector? How about an HDMI connection to a projector or flatscreen? Does Samsung have any sort of Slingbox/Apple TV type device that I could stream my content to and then connect that device to the projector or flatscreen? The ability to use the device for teaching is my main impetus for the purchase. Without that ability, I will have to go to a standard laptop, which I do not want to do. Thanks.
I use mine with a computer projector. You can get both a converter to the SVGA type older connections that schools still often have or a HDMI. It is a simple cord adaptor that plugs into the proprietary port and either the SVGA adaptor or the HDMI version. Buy the way...Logitech makes a matched blue tooth keyboard/case that is really nice. It can be separated from the tablet if you wish and via bluetooth acts as a remote input device. I use it that way in presentations...the tablet is back at the computer projector and the keyboard is up with me at the front of the audience.

How many gigs of RAM does this device have?

How many gigs of RAM does this device have?
It has 3 gb of ram which makes it fast. My other tablet is just about as fast but has 1 gb of ram so that is a choke. By the way....I have the 32 gb version and while I have Lots of apps that are power hungry it still has plenty of room. Having a micro SD card (I use a 64 GB) means I have LOTS of space to store programs...many can be run from the SD card using the app control within the Android system. Warning though...if you place all your apps on the SD card you will not be able to run them if you swap out the SD card to put in another one for additional space. But 64 is a LOT of space. One way to add lots of additional memory is to get the Samsung adaptor cable that plugs in the proprietary port and has a USB female port...you can add flash drive....you can even get a flash drive splitter so you can add a few additional flash drives at the same time (think the limit is around 4-5 but that is tons of space).

USB cable for PowerShot cameras

I lost my USB cable for my Canon Powershot camera. Does the ONE mini-cable you offer online fit Powershot cameras??
There are two mini USB cables availalble that are standard. One is called MINI USB and another is the Micro MINI. The difference is in the size of the plug that plugs into the camera. Most likely the one you want is the Micro MINI. If there is a Best Buy near you they can tell you which one it is. They look very similar....the width is the same but the thickness is the difference. One is about 1/8" thick and the other half of that.

Get your favorite devices running in record time with this Energizer battery charger.
 

Raovac charger

Will discontined 15 minute Rayovac battery charger charger thes batteries
I haven't tried this charger but they advertise that these batteries can be charged in any standard charger. On the other hand...anytime you rapid charge batteries you tend to put more stress on them and reduce their life somewhat. I prefer to use the standard recharge time which on the two brands I use is around 2 1/2 hours for AA and AAA batteries with about 14 hours for a 9 volt.
