I'd like to join the movement to return to standard batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 18650, etc.) instead of proprietary batteries that can't be easily replaced. #battery #batteriesI regularly use NiMH batteries and have a quality charger that charges each one separately rather than as a group, which solved a lot of the issues I used to have with them.

Also, let's drop Mini and Micro #USB entirely. If there's enough space, full-size USB Type B is fine. Otherwise, USB-C.It's so stupid how some large USB devices use Micro USB.

@tk usb type B is not a great connector, it's not locking and I've often seen wiggly plugs/sockets and it just wouldn't make consistent contact. Mini has the same problem. Micro and C work the best, but C plug is a pain to solder - of course not a concern for commercial products, but I will probably never use type C

I really don't understand why 18650s didn't replace most usage of AAs, Cs and Ds already

@tk Every time i see NiMH, i think about “The Secret of NIMH” instead of Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries.

@feld @tk because 18650 isn't as popular in commercial applications as AA/AAA
