Comments by "" (@tomk3732) on "Finally! A Battery That’s Better Than Energizer and Duracell!" video.
Ditched rechargeable batteries like 10 years ago. They are expensive per battery and a lot, most of my batteries when replaced are lost. So no reason to use rechargable batteries. They also have low voltage and are heavy.

@grantdavis5992 No but I did drill some holes in a pot handle. This is no longer such a big issue today with most electronics using lithium batteries - but it used to be a somewhat a big deal in the past. My GPS used one pair per day. Resupply was every week. So this would be like what 200g difference or more using rechargeable batteries. Also when cold they don't work - so if its very cold I used lithium sticks. Now I use very few AA or AAA batteries - usually just like 6 AAA batteries for a two months for emergency headlamp use (it has power bank) - then I give them away to locals. At home maybe use like a dozen batteries a year, things such as smoke alarms, few clocks. Oh and volt meter. Almost forgot, thermostats. None of these would benefit from rechargeable batteries. Today almost everything comes with build in power bank - so AA / AAA / 9V are very rarely used.

@ChrisWijtmans Yes, I frequently build larger ones from 18650 batteries. Smaller devices almost all have them now so zero need for rechargeable AA / AAA.
