What's the point of AA and AAA when lipo already has months of battery life, better weight and weight distribution and don't have to deal with finding/charging batteries, battery recycling all the time, gunk from unequal cell discharge etc.
It's so much easier to just plug on a USB cable for all of 2 minutes.
- spronkey 7y ago2-3 years later when your proprietary LiPo dies, you'll pat your younger self on the back for choosing a standardised battery. You will repeat this over and over again for every time you choose a standardised power source over a proprietary one.
- andromeduck 7y agoThese batteries last months, at the standard 500 cycle's that's about a decade's worth of regular use.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago2 minutes is 2 minutes too long. I don’t want to sit and wait while my mouse recharges. (Yes, swapping batteries tajes some amount of time, but so does finding and plugging in a cable, so that’s a wash as far as I’m concerned.)
