| 0:30.0 | Hello, it's just me for this week's a fully charged plus podcast, but hopefully the stories |
| 0:50.8 | I'm bringing you will be informative and entertaining. I mean, that's really the |
| 0:56.4 | role of fully charged, isn't it? It's what we've got to do. But I want to start with batteries |
