One of the things I like about the Pern universe (similar to the Wool universe) is that you start with a technologically advanced society that (for whatever reason) loses knowledge, and the way that hidden history impacts society over extended periods
Does your quote above actually appear anywhere on that page (or did it at some point) because I can't find it?

This is a nice piece of writing, and a good message
NiMH has been common in consumer batteries for around 15 years (in my experience, although Wikipedia shows the chemistry is way older) but you can still buy the other chemistry (NiCd), and there may be newer lithium rechargables but I haven't seen them in standard sizes (AA etc)
Eneloops set the standard for good quality NiMH batteries for a while, but IKEA Ladda batteries are also NiMH, and probably plenty of others now
Because rechargable batteries before NiMH sucked for many use cases - they were good for the Gameboy as you charged and used them straight away at high draw, but try using one in a low power device like a remote or wall clock and you'll find it is dead in a week despite minimal actual usage
Luckily, a constitution is guaranteed to be an unambiguous representation of inherently true principles that will not be subject to change over time
