Problem with rechargeable AA and AAA batteries is that they need complicated chargers. Putting a charger for those into a device will make it unnecessarily big. There's also the issue with the charge cycles they can take. I believe they have a maximum of around 100 charge cycles while lithium ion batteries are more around 1000 cycles.
This problem was solved 40 years ago.
You do realize there are rechargeable lithium AA and AAA batteries, right?
The AA and AAA are just a form factor with a half dozen different mainstream chemistries depending on what you want to use.
Xbox360 managed both. You either plugged in the pack with two AAA's or you could use the one with a rechargeable battery that fit the exact same slot.
Seems a good compromise to me.
Meanwhile, Sony went with an internal battery but had a standard USB connector.
Nowadays, you can get an Xbone controller and still choose a replaceable battery pack or a rechargeable one, and it has a USB-C connector. Standard connector, choose of battery feels like a good way to go for me.
Xbox has consistently had my favorite controllers. Being able to swap batteries makes for such a better experience than seeing the "battery low" notification and either being on an umbilical cord or setting the controller down entirely until it's charged
What are you talking about? I literally just bought a charger today for AA and AAA batteries for $15 today so I'd have 2 chargers at home. I'm still using my original AA rechargeable batteries after 6 years now. Are you saying that's somehow worse than single use batteries? My rechargeables last just as long as alkaline ones and I haven't had to buy batteries in years.
Check your misinformation.
Man chill, he's right, single use batteries have a higher energy density than rechargable ones. And somehow everybody is misreading that OP was talking about built-in chargers.
Not an argument not to use rechargable ones though
That poster is still a dingus, because lithium battery chemistries require even more complicated charging circuitry than NiMH or NiCd. Lithium ion powered devices also have "complicated chargers" built into them, so it's a non-argument anyway.
What's true is that lithium ion has higher energy density than NiCd or NiMH. What's not true is the notion that consumer primary cells (alkaline or zinc-carbon) have more capacity than NiMH, because they don't. A brand name alkaline AA cell has around 2200-2400 mAh available, but a really good quality (i.e. not Amazon Basics or whatever other cheap horeshit) NiMH AA can have up to 3000. NiMH chemistry also handles high current loads significantly better than alkaline, which is important for high drain devices (cameras, flashlights, motorized toys) but less important for low drain devices expected to have a long shelf life (remotes).
I was sure that alkaline has a higher energy density than NiMH but you are right, they don't. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial_battery_types Thanks for the correction.
