Great comment!
I wonder if the newer low-self-discharge batteries might get you even more lengthy usage times. Something like a gen 2 Eneloop lite can hold onto 60% of its capacity after five years[1], which is just plain insane.

- jschwartzi 7y agoIf this is true, this makes possible a lot of very-low-power wireless applications where longevity is important. I'm recalling a project at my first job where we were using e-paper and CR2032s with wireless transceivers to create electronic shelf labels. Longevity is important in this application because replacing batteries is very labor-intensive.
