[quote name="Hangman"] skywal_l 21 minutes ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] Had to use my old TI 89 one day. Haven't used it in 10 years. Took it out of storage, put in 4 AAA usb-c rechargable batteries, worked like a charm. Could you do the same with your hard to replace custom battery? Any consumer electronic using standard format batteries is superior by default. Because 10 or 20 years from now, it still have brand new full batteries lying around. reply devilbunny 42 minutes ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] I, too, prefer disposables, but for a somewhat different reason. One very commonly used surgical item is a sterile suction/irrigator. It's sealed with 8 AA's at the factory, used for 2-3 minutes during laparoscopic surgery, and disposed of. So pretty much anyone who works in a surgical suite that does laparoscopy has a personally unlimited supply of AA's that would be thrown away anyway. reply rowanG077 24 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] Isn't that a biohazard strictly speaking? I'm not sure you want to get caught stealing used surgical equipment for home use.[/quote]
