AA Batteries Rechargeable ECO Friendly Recyclable
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
How much are you willing to pay for such batteries? For larger electronics that take double A batteries, this exists, but at a premium! These things are lithium-whatever and USB rechargable, but at $5 per, easy to dismiss. While dismissing them, consider where the "those don't count" retort is coming from. It's fair to point out that electronics have gotten small enough to the point that they don't fit AA batteries any more, but these batteries haven't taken over in situations where they are available, so even if they came in AAAA (quadruple-A size - like what's inside of a 9-volt) size that were usable in smaller electronics, I doubt the market would decide they are better.
Worse is better, and in this case, the iPhone, and everyone copying its permanently installed battery, is worse.
