I think single-use batteries should be banned. Whenever I go to the weed store and I see them selling/advertising disposable vapes I can't help but feel a hint of rage. All my AA and AAA batteries are rechargeable now. Hopefully soon everything will use USB-C and graphene batteries and supercapacitors will be common.
I'll infuriate you further. Most of those disposable vape products actually have rechargeable lithium ion batteries inside, but they're just designed so you can't recharge them. Why? Well, the same form factor reasons as why other gadgets use lithium ion batteries, and due to economy of scale they've decided that's the cheapest way to do it.
If you're a hardware hacker type you can grab discarded disposable vapes and dismantle them to get the batteries out, then use them for other projects.
Big Clive has made a career out of it
Unfortunately, some devices simply don't work unless you have the voltage curve of an alkaline/lithium battery, or they'll show a "low battery" even with a relatively fresh NiMh rechargeable batteries.
If devices could all accept lithium rechargeable batteries, or something else better than NiMh, then there'd be very little reason why you'd need to use single-use batteries.
I'd love to take advantage of super capacitors if they became more readily available. Many dashcams use them instead of internal batteries, and they make a HUGE difference when using them in the cold, and they are safer than using lithium batteries in the summer heat, too.
Could try nickel zinc batteries in those maybe.
I go camping and have some lights that have rechargeable batteries but you can swap disposable batteries in if needed which is really nice to have as a backup when any sort of charging isint available
Right, the convenience is not just being able to replace the battery but being able to find a replacement battery essentially anywhere. That’s great for flashlights, but your phone will always have a custom battery that will be expensive and hard to find
