I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

Any gadget/tool/product with standard AA/AAA C/D sized batteries and a bunch of rechargeable batteries. Mostly, if I leave a gadget is because it doesn't work, or because the included rechargeable battery is depleted and hard to replace.

I'm the other way around. Anything I buy i want to run off 18650 (or similar) cells, and i don't like anything that requires disposable batteries.

Im pretty sure they are talking about getting rechargable AA/AAA/C/D batteries.

If the battery is of huge capacity, that's fine too.
