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
Haha, same situation here. Whenever my partner says she is giving away a toy, my first reaction is “take my batteries (eenlops/EBLs) out!”. My older brother was always shitting on rechargeables, but they have been great for me
I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once. (lemmy.world) angielski
