It certainly is, but an LCD alarm clock is much less fabulous, since it has to be pressed or otherwise activated to produce light, and that's my main need here (a clock that I can read in the dark without moving). > it's remarkably shorter than an old-fashioned LCD alarm clock in which an alkaline battery could last for months That's a good suggestion, but it loses some of the "set it and forget it" factor, and I will very definitely forget it (especially when there's no low voltage warning). I have some ESP32 boards with a built-in charger, so that's more hands-off. Also, the length of the clock is shorter than a 18650, so I'd have to make the clock larger and the screen would look even smaller in comparison. I appreciate the suggestions, design is fun and getting feedback from others makes it even better! > cheap LiPo pouches have an annoying tendency to puff up and go bad Oh, don't worry about that, they're all already puffed up.
