Probably hyperbole, but I assume OP is implying they lose the cable between charges due to infrequent use.

Are we implying the battery life is so good that one only needs to be charged once every long often? Otherwise, how cluttered are you to lose a cable every time in between charges? Stick it in a drawer with all of the other ones. Just seems like a really weak strawman

  In fact, the battery life really is good enough to cause this issue. Similar problem with Garmin watches and their proprietary cables.

  Op-1 is known for ridiculously long battery life

  I have one and have a similar problem. These things take months to lose battery. I often change around where I put cables and etc between the times needed to charge it.

I have literally bought mini-usb cables on 3 different occasions to use my OP-1. I lose them all the time, as I have about a thousand (no joke) USB cables and 3-5 mini-USB among them. I bought 20x mini-USB as my new mobile phone uses it now and I didn't want to keep not finding them when I need them.

  Just wondering, what phone do you have that still uses mini-usb?

I'll eventually put it into a rpi shield/hat/whatever and make an SMS to email bridge. Until then, this has amazing battery life.

      I feel kind of like I'm being trolled with this one, but it is kind of awesomely bad that I sort of want one.

        I feel the same way. 32 GB of storage??

        Dual SIM, too. You can even use it solely as a bluetooth headset paired to a normal phone to look like Gordon Gecko while on a call on your yacht if you want. I bought two for less than the AppleCare+ on my iPhone 12 cost. (One as backup, as I can't imagine these are going to be in production for much longer.)

  I understand that sucks, but that doesn't really sound like the fault of the device to me. It really sounds like one of those "you're holding it wrong" type of excuses.
