Most devices & gadgets are rechargeable nowadays. The only thing I have that still requires batteries is a headlamp but even those are available in rechargeable varieties. House smoke detectors need a battery too.

    This. I don’t have to wait for something to charge. I just swap and go.

      You could also just charge your controller while you’re not playing. OC was about the batteries reaching end-of-life, not simply fully discharging.

        Oh, I could just simply become a different person who plans ahead!? But seriously, I’ve also had controllers start not holding a charge, or they’re already dead when I try to turn them on…
