Batteries

So sometimes I find batteries to be a problem. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Both rechargeable batteries and normal batteries can be such a hassle.

-SCENARIO- (You're a 9 year old boy on Christmas day)

You're so excited that it's Christmas so you rush downstairs to the Christmas tree and open all the presents. Finally you come across this small box in the back of the tree. You reach for it and pull it out. Then, you rip it open excited as your parents walk down the stairs to watch you.

When the present is opened you see a small plastic box with a light up action figure inside. Your parents cut open the plastic box and hand you the toy only to find out batteries weren't include.

-END-

See how horrible his parents were? I mean see how horrible batteries are? For 1, they should be included. And 2, everything should be solar powered or something! Yes, I know that can be expensive and wasteful just for a little toy. But I don't know there has got to be a better way.

What about rechargeable batteries? Okay... those are more environmentally friendly. But they die way to easily most of the time. And even the good batteries that are in thing like iPads or the Surface still eventually die. The batteries will eventually have reached the end of their life span and they'll die after slowly losing it's capacity through time.

Then there is this thing called "full charging" where once a month you have to charge the battery entirely from dead. There has got to be a better way. Do you agree?
