    Rechargeable AA batteries are a thing. I use them in everything: mouse, toothbrush, clock, controller, torch, electronic scale, milk froth wand etc.

    Whenever a device runs out of juice I pop fresh batteries in the device and pop the depleted batteries in the charger.

    It’s great. Charge lasts much longer than chemical batteries and they work for many years. I wish everything used rechargeables.

      I grew up with rechargable AA and AAA batteries. They were great at the the time. But I only have one device left that uses them, some at least 12 year old logitech keyboard.

      Just recently bought a fan with a remote control (Don’t have an AC, so you really need at least that). I had to buy some AAA batteries for the remote. Haven’t used those in close to a decade.

        Rechargeable AA batteries were the only thing that made my mum prepared to buy me a Gameboy. They’ve been around for literally decades.
