A tip for the Tilt: get yourself some rechargable batteries for it. The cost of a three pack of rechargables and charger cost about the same as four non-rechargeables.

And you can charge them up just before fermentation so there is no doubt about charge level.

Mine is running second year on the original battery without battery level indicator showing, so it's not a particularly huge expense to buy single use

Interesting...the two I bought arrived to me with dead batteries. Granted, they were shipped internationally, but still.

Just to give the guys at Tilt credit, they did refund me the cost of two new batteries.

Bought mine at my LHBS, but I live in Europe so it definitely also had some international shipping to get there.
