I don't know what you mean by spray, but maybe something here fits?

Probably fermenting sugars turning into alcohol.
I'd personally stick to a protected cell for projects like this. That means it has an integrated protection circuit that keeps it from being over / under charged, protects you from an explosion if you short circuit it, and provides a temperature cut off.
Thoae generally top out at around 10a, rather than the 30a the cell might be capable of. Still tons of power for OP to work with.
Usb battery packs are an easy and rechargeable source of 5v. Many will give you 3a I think.
So your battery will have a capacity, something like 2000 mah. That's 2000 milliamps for an hour, or your 1.58a motor for over an hour.
Your motor won't pull 1.5 though if you're under driving it, probably closer to 1. Or it could pull more than 1.5 if it's under stress.
If you're fine with those run times, just beef up that wire.
Most people don't pull much power from AA's. It's not about the size of the battery, it's about the amps you're drawing and the size of the wire. Personally I'd probably just solder in a better wire.
Have you tested how long the batteries last? It sounds like you're going to kill them pretty quick.
Battery rail? As in a part that's conducting electricity but not mechanical load? That shouldn't be getting hot. You're pulling too much power for that size of wire.
I should add that heat is wasted energy and means a faster battery drain.
Yes. You can't call someone's interests "crap" and not have them think you're judging them, just because you "don't mean it in a mean way".
If you don't like something someone else enjoys, don't talk shit about it.
Are you not in any group chats with 50 people trying to organize something? They become a cluster fuck.
For direct chats, totally agreed. I'd be seriously insulted if you used an ai to talk in a 1:1 conversation.
Weird, I haven't done anything....
Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.
Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.
I honestly don't remember why we ruled out liberapay when we originally set up donations, and I don't think anyone else does either. Opencollective wasn't a good fit because they didn't have any good fiscal hosts in Canada, but I don't see any obvious issues with liberapay.
We can take another look at this I think, but we've all been pretty busy lately so might take us a bit.
