One thing I dislike about AA/AAA batteries is eWaste. I have a bunch of rechargeables around but don't think everyone uses them when there's cheap packs of 20 AAAs available. Using rechargeables have an up-front cost not everyone wants to pay.
- devilbunny 2y agoSome of us are reusing! There are numerous single-use devices in healthcare for sterility purposes. One common device hooks up to vacuum and fluids and provides irrigation and suction capability in laparoscopic surgery cases, and it uses 8 AA batteries that are sealed in at the factory. At the end of the case, the device is discarded. It's pretty standard for people to take the batteries out (they've barely been used) before throwing it away. I haven't bought AA batteries in nearly two decades.
