Batteries, batteries, I'm sick of batteries.

I like this setup. We have our batteries stored in a large box now. This would give us some organization to our mess. Maybe I will buy three or four of them and share them for Christmas gifts with the kids and my sister.

You're kidding, right? I am not into crafts. I would rather spend my time giving the dog a bath. Just kidding, Ken. I really do not enjoy messing around with these types of projects and for $18.00, that's fine by me.

Hearing aids, wife's countless watches, TV remotes, little flashlights that are handy, electric toothbrush & water flosser.

I have one inexpensive digital watch. If it quits I simply buy a new one.
Cordless drill always has to be charged before I can use it.

I left off three TV remote batteries, that makes 29.
 
There was a time when I thought battery operated drills, etc. were cool, until every time I went to use them, the batteries needed to be charged. So, I agree, my fascination with all things battery operated has dissipated. There will always be an exception or two but generally speaking, make mine plug in please :) .
 
Remember when watches were mechanical winders that never took batteries? Now you have to buy costly and hard-to-replace button cells for them. Many stores that sell watches don't want to bother actually replacing the batteries for you. To replace it yourself requires some specialized tools, plus there's a chance of destroying the watch in the effort... 😟

My o/h has all the specialist tools needed, he always replaces our batteries or does repairs on them if needed, (no that's not his job)

Funny, but I use batteries very little. Actually, when I go shopping & see these huge packages of batteries I wonder why anyone would buy that many? I have 4 remotes by the TV, one travel alarm clock & that is about it. Oh, yes, I have 2 cameras but the batteries there last for ages & any ways, they can be recharged.

Why is there four remotes by the TV.?
