    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

                                          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!

                                                              I only use rechargeable batteries except when i buy something that comes with batteries. All my trashcans use batteries, my candles etc. If I was to use non-rechargeable batteries I would go through so many it would be way too expensive.

                                                                      You either recharge or buy single use.
                                                                      The main difference is that these days I have a lot more disposable income, and I'm a lot fucking lazyer... I cant be assed with chargers and messing around anymore.

                                                                      Plus back then my battery use was a lot more heavy duty - Large Canon Flash packs etc that I no longer use and also back then I couldn't just order 40+ Duracell batteries to be delivered the next day buy amazon prime with a single click of a mouse. Thats whats changed...

Today everything comes usb rechargeable and I wish remotes did too but it's too much of a hassle to take batteries out to recharge them.

I did so many tests with them and others. I use them for sound, flash, triggers, etc. They can hold a charge for a year and minimal drop off.

                                                                                                                                  Im that guy that does the research when I buy stuff. I hate buying stuff more than anything in this world.

                                                                                                                                  You can't go wrong with these. They also make sleeves to make them fit in C and D slots to kids toys. Pretty cool.
