eli5: Why do regular batteries last for so long whereas rechargeable ones have to be recharged so frequently?
In: Technology
In addition to the other answers, it depends which ones you buy. Rechargeable batteries lose energy over time even if they’re doing nothing but some lose it faster than others. “Low self-discharge” batteries like Eneloop will need recharging less frequently because they manage to hold onto more of their energy.
