Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Don't do it. Alkalines are all shit now and will leak all over your electronics.

Get some decent NiMH.

NiMH is perfect for an application like this, where the power draw is high but you don't need the batteries to retain charge while in standby for that long, so the high self-discharge rate is irrelevant.
