not very long if they're alkaline. And its doubtful anything but their phones got li-on batteries in ghana, the markup probably isn't worth it. And there probably are hardly any phones. so mostly no li-on batteries anywhere.

- Symbiote 9y agoI haven't been to Ghana, but I have been to Senegal, which is supposedly poorer. Maybe a third of the people had a smartphone, most people had a basic phone. The smartphones were $100 Chinese Android things. I felt perfectly safe wandering round with my 3 year old smartphone out, since I'd clearly taken less care of it than the average Senegalese would have.
