They have so many toys (which use for so little each time) that it ain't really worth it to use rechargeable batteries... I am just buying a lot of normal batteries each time and install them whenever needed. I just don't know what to do with the empty (or seeming empty) ones.
- Sharlin 5y agoPerhaps off-topic, and this may or may not be a popular sentiment on HN, but maybe they could do with fewer toys? At least fewer battery-operated ones? I mean, each and every one of us should be doing our part to not partake in unsustainable consumerism.
- hamburglar 5y agoI’ve tried this but it’s really hard to get the rest of the gift-giving family on board. My kids just get way too many toys these days. I use rechargeable almost exclusively though and try to keep on top of pulling them out of disused toys to put into newer toys. If a kid tries to use an old toy that I’ve taken the batteries out of (which rarely happens), I just give them more.
