Rechargeable AAs and AAAs have finally been perfected, I am kind of annoyed by things that have only internal batteries now, I don't want them going to the landfill just because the cheap device died. Let me keep running the batteries for a decade in other shit.

The internal batteries often aren't that hard to replace. If you can get the device open the batteries are standard sizes you can order and often just plug in. Except phones, phone manufacturing relies on pure evil

For decades we had battery packs that could be replaced. we have lifepo4 that's super safe to handle, i don't know why we don't have replacable battery packs anymore :/
