Other Equipment from Inventory
Batteries
There are two containers of batteries located in Ken's office:
- New batteries - Unused and fully charged.
- Used batteries - These do not have a full charge but are kept only when they have at least a 50-75% remaining charge. Since we may have to change batteries in equipment for use during long events or conferences, the batteries that we replace may not have enough charge for that particular event, but may have enough charge for use in another, shorter, event.
Gaff tape
Gaff tape (gaffer tape) is used to tape down cables in order to prevent tripping accidents.
