I've seen people dislike devices taking AA batteries so often now, like,
you know you can get those at the store with a charger for like 20€, and when they break, you can just replace them? Way more practical than specialized battery packs
🔜 NFC
@noiob on the other hand, all rechargeable AA batteries have garbage capacity
@ChlorideCull they're fine? you can get 3900mAh ones, and I use 1900mAh ones in various devices where they last ages
@ChlorideCull I swear by Panasonic eneloops
@noiob can only find the eneloop pros here, are they good?
@ChlorideCull I have the regular ones and they're pretty nice, the pros are specced to have higher capacity and lower self-discharge
@ChlorideCull I've been told IKEA sells rebranded Eneloop Pros for cheaper https://www.slrlounge.com/panasonic-eneloop-vs-ikea-ladda-are-they-the-same/
@noiob Oh, I have some of those, the biggest issue with them is that the matte white exterior is bulkier than normal batteries, so they end up being a bit of a tight squeeze - unless you'll be able to grab the batteries and pull them out, you'll likely be unable to get them out!
@ChlorideCull wtf, that's the weirdest product flaw that I've ever heard of, surely that would come up in basic testing
@noiob it's one of those "it's spec compliant" things I'm fairly certain, it's the shit you put it in (like 360 controllers) that have way too small slots
@ChlorideCull well, idk, but my eneloops never got stuck (nor did any other rechargeables I ever used), so imo it's Ikea's fault
@noiob all the ones I have have huge issues with self-discharge, which means you can pretty much never leave them in something and instead have to have them in the charger whenever you aren't using them
