Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once. (lemmy.world)

I have AA batteries that are rechargeable, and I'm challenged to find a use for them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

All the things I have that use batteries don’t seem to function well on rechargeable (such as my electric door locks). So I also have a bunch of them I don’t know what to do with and still have to buy disposable. 😔

Wow, that sucks. It has worked for me. I have a zwave lock that I have been running on rechargeables for about 6 years now. Even now with the abuse of a 5 year old kid who learned the pin and insists on locking and unlocking unnecessarily, I only charge the batteries once every 6 months! I thought maybe I was exaggerating, but I have a home assistant automation that alerts me when battery level is 50% or under, which is when I charge, and yeah, just about every 6 months. Maybe it's because I spent too much on "good" rechargeables? Or not, it might be placebo

It could very well be that yours are “good” rechargeables! Mine are just Amazons brand lol. If I use them in my locks I have to change like every 4-5 weeks.

Oh wow. I suppose it could be the locks. But yeah, they're good higher capacity rechargeables, EBL brand (according to the research I did)
