I think so, but I think it's a bad development. Rechargeable devices tend to be non-repairable and ultimately bad for the environment. A, AAA, etc are ultimately just standardized interfaces with standardized form factors and voltage, the actual batteries are available in both one-time-use and rechargeable variants. I think we should keep them around as they enable us to use our devices for a longer time without costly repairs or even disposal of the device itself. This does not apply to very complex and energy intensive devices like smart phones though, as they obviously require more sophisticated and space optimized batteries.
I love the implication here that disposable batteries are good for the environment.
I think you got me wrong here. The implication should he that repairability is good for the environment and a standardized form factor enables repairability. It's not the best solution but still better than everything glued in, but you seem to not agree on that one either, do you?
