Working on the next iteration of battery usage in my home, after my current 100 packs of alkalines die, I will be going lithium rechargeable. Already got the tip from another dad to make a spreadsheet to track where the rechargeables are deployed.
+100 dad points for competing that upgrade I'm told. No idea which skill tree to deploy them into yet. Heating with miners solved the need for any points in "who touched the thermostat" so I'm due to completely respec my character.
Gold! 🤣🤣🫂🫂
It´s inmportant to use lithium batterys and not Ni-Hm because they won´t work with the most smarthome devices for example
I refurbish old dry cells as a side hustle, if you have any laying around /jk
Stick to eneloop batteries. They have less idle drain than others by an extremely wide margin. Most rechargeables will kill themselves in a few months, even if they aren't plugged into something.
I just realized I can print serial number wrap labels with my label maker. Definitely going to put serials on my rechargeables.
That will allow me to track charge cycles on individual cells in the spreadsheet!
