I grew up with rechargable AA and AAA batteries. They were great at the the time. But I only have one device left that uses them, some at least 12 year old logitech keyboard.

Just recently bought a fan with a remote control (Don't have an AC, so you really need at least that). I had to buy some AAA batteries for the remote. Haven't used those in close to a decade.

Rechargeable AA batteries were the only thing that made my mum prepared to buy me a Gameboy. They've been around for literally decades.
