While looking for uses for old disposable AA batteries, I ran across the Batteriser from 2015. Clearly, it was a flop of some sort, as I am posting in 2024. What happened? Are there any iterations that do work?

Also, are there any uses for old batteries?

I use rechargeable AAs and AAAs in all of my remotes, controllers, mice, etc, and the kids’ toys are so chaotic that I wouldn’t put anything in them I wasn’t willing to lose, so the batteriser has literally no value to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

And I've heard rechargeable batteries don't even leak, that would be another plus.

Why don’t we have lithium ion AA batteries yet? I’ve seen lithium iron phosphate.

Random duckduckgo search brought me to this product. Maybe they are not comercially viable yet?
