To some extent it makes sense, you are only going to sell so many actual machines.
A %50 premium for making it convenient is fine, %500 is not.
The weird thing is when their actual bespoke parts, weldments and whatnot, are surprisingly inexpensive.
If anyone needs assistance identifying/sourcing parts post them here. It's a hobby of mine at this point.

LOL! PLC battery FX3U-32BL (Cobra, Sportsman, Stryker, etc) is a common coin cell battery with a cable termination soldered to it. No need to pay M&R prices. These are easily had on Amazon.
Other Mitsubishi batteries for servo, etc can be found at Mouser, Digikey, even McMaster Carr or or local electronics stores.
I appreciate M&R for certain items but they are mostly highway robbery when it comes to off the shelf parts. Quartz lamps, batteries, fasteners, SMC parts, etc.

I don't mind paying a premium for M&R to have the parts on hand for us, saves me from hunting/finding/etc.
BUT some times the prices are ridiculous and I can't believe they do it with a straight face.

Yes, I used mouser for the battery for our old old M&R i-image. I think it was like $12.

M&R doesn't make batteries, but they might put connectors on them.
I wouldn't go with amazon, but Mouser or Digikey will have quality products.
(there's actually a lot of shadiness in the battery world)
We have used them for our MHM and they've been fine.

i looked at M&R prices and compared what i paid in the past. what used to be a $50 battery is now $150 - $100 more for the same battery?
its a bit of a shock, my shopping cart at M&R is up to $830 to replace the batteries in the five autos.
has anyone else used batteries from amazon or other sources? what were the results?
thanks in advance

The rip going on a PC is going to happen. Now we find out Adobe and Mac aren't playing well together. Adobe hasn't signed off on Sequoia, or vice versa. Then we need to decide if we stay with current rip or change that as well. Geez
Every day we are closer and closer to achieving max Idiocracy. I feel like things that should just work, don't anymore.

It’s true that older machines will stop receiving updates. For me, it starts interfering with things like Google Drive first.
Your IT guys will have this but check out Open Core Patcher. I have used it to get several older but capable machines running a newer version if you need it.
Putting the RIP on a single PC should happen too though.
