You can apply this to your toys (or your flashlights). Seems like they either need batteries or are rechargeable. Personally, I find anything that needs to be recharged is usually dead or almost dead when you need it unless its on a charger. I...

I prefer things with changeable batteries; the trouble with sealed units is that the internal battery will inevitably fail and/or the charger connecter becomes worn out from use

Batteries as long as you have spares. No need to look for powerpoints.

I agree. All my flashlights are assorted sized standard batteries. No USB rechargable crap or lithium Ion firestarters.

@LunarOrbit Stockpile of AA and AAA size some 9 volt for smoke detectors and some old school D sized for a cool flashlight/club. Various places throughout the house. Can never find them.

@icedsky Yes. I do. I buy Costco packs of batteries.

Its the rechargeable flashlights that I was referring to. I have a friend that has a flashlight fetish. Everytime he sees a new type, he buys me one. And himself one. But theyve all been rechargeable. Hate em

@Stereoguy Yes. Cordless power tools are a game changer

Rechargeable is more reliable. 😌

Yep... kind of the same idea with rechargeable battery packs for outdoor equipment. I am not a fan.

I have rechargeable batteries for many things, but the problem is knowing when they are no longer good. lol

batteries I can't be bothered with the rechargeables haha

@Lilymoon I have a box of chargers that I have no idea what they are needed for…but likely for something that won’t run without them.
