    Do you still bother with rechargeable AA Batteries?

    When the regarable AAs arrived about 10 years ago, I used to use them all the time for pretty much everything that used batteries. These days, not so much, I just buy Duracells in bulk from amazon.

    Do you still bother with recharging rechargeables ?

      Still using them, not so much for saving money but for environmental reasons.. (but haven't looked more in-depth if the rechargeable ones aren't made with more environment unfriendly components or not..)

          I never got into using them because I didn't use anything that required batteries except
          a "boom box" and the boom box was always plugged in to a socket anyway.

          Now only my mouse and keyboard need batteries; but only after months of use.
          It's not worth the time or effort to recharge when I can buy a years supply of
          batteries really cheap.

              Honestly, it should be what we all use, but the battery companies don't want you buying them. Selling disposable batteries is profitable, selling rechargeable ones isn't good for them in the long run..

                  A lot of modern thingies are now re-chargable with USB cable so question is are batteries needed at all.

                                  many years ago when I used shit that sucked juice like a crackwhore, mainly monster boom box for the beach, these days what really uses batteries, smoke detectors, (2) 9 volts a year, alarm clock (1) 9 volt battery backup, ton of remotes but only need 1 universal one with a few AA or AAA which last a year+, CR2032 for push button car start FOB that last a year+ so don't really use enough batteries to need to recharge them

                                          Do you still bother with recharging rechargeables ?
                                          What is the difference now and then?

                                          Back then:

                                          You either recharge or buy single use.

                                          Now:

                                          You either recharge or buy single use.

                                              I would not like that. Remote does not take much juice, how often do you need to get new batteries?

                                              And bother with putting it in some stand etc is less convenient than not bothering at all for a year or 2 and then switching to new batteries.

                                              Not much extra benefit (plus probably cost more) = reason why it is not this way, IMO.

                                                      most of the modern stuff all plug in USB to charge, flashlights etc... Duracell came out with an AA called 'mp3' about 6-7 years ago... the fucking batteries lasted so long Duracell stopped making them lol!
