Me and a mate recently bought a pair of really expensive remote control cars - not the ones for kids, the serious racing types! Now I don't see that as a waste of money, but the batteries you need to power the things, and how often they need replacing is definitely a huge rip off!
I'm looking online for a decent set of rechargeable batteries so I can stop forking out £8 per new battery (they take 6!) every time it runs out of power.
And now I'm thinking I should get a set of rechargeable batteries in each size, for everything I own. Even things like the TV remote control - whenever the batteries run out I have to run to the local shop and get replacements for a ridiculous mark-up on the price!
But if I had rechargeable ones, I could use them for the TV remote, nose hair clippers, Wii remotes, alarm clock, everything!
