Comment on I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries

Interesting. I hate AAA batteries and only buy things that I can charge with USB cables. I hate having to replace and throw away batteries all the time.

I assume op was talking about rechargeable AAA batteries. At least then they’re hot swappable.

Maybe in buying the wrong AAA batteries but I’m struggling to make them last longer than a few cycles

Sanyo Eneloops are great. I have some really old ones with a lot of cycles from my Xbox controller.

That sounds like you need better brand. when the inventor got 500 cycles on their patented design 60 years ago… en.wikipedia.org/…/Nickel–metal_hydride_battery

Even better would be if more devices used the lithium ion cylindrical cells. Higher power and energy density, while also being a standardized form factor that can be switched out as needed.

Key is standardisation, we should all move to li-ion but not at the cost of random shapes and non-swappable. Everything should have similar 3-4 form factor batteries and easily replaceable. Also the charging connector, everything should have USB c, barrel connector should be banned or be forced to just use one single size
