I always had shit lights growing up, so I have many lights all around. and a box of charged AA and AAA batteries if they aren’t USB chargeable
Comment on why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?
tilefan@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoI can’t remember the last time I had a flashlight that did that. I have one in my bedside drawer that’s been using the same battery for at least 6 years. and the other ones around the house, I just double check anytime a hurricane is supposed to be rolling in and they’ve always been fine

Hey if the batteries are that old you should replace them anyway. Every year or two it needs new ones. They will eventually start leaking battery acid and fuck up a good flashlight

when I’m checking them once a year, I do occasionally find corrosion before it becomes a problem, but I keep Energizer Lithium in all of my important things
