“So many toys are being made now where all of a sudden the battery dies and you’re out an entire toy. There’s no warranty, no refunds, and you just can’t buy the part again. More plastics in landfills, making things weird for people who run these things. I’m sure they’ve seen it all.
Although technically, this shouldn’t even wind up in a landfill because it contains lithium? I don’t know. I don’t know where one goes to recycle ones vibrator batteries.
But so it is with this camphor. I followed the best charging discipline I can, but nobody’s perfect. Leah on batteries are supposed to not have these stupid memory effects, but of course they do.
I would expect to last year’s died a little after a year. Just long enough for the warranty to pop, and while it does, the right things for me and I’m buying another one I really do wish we could go back to the days of serviceability.
This is not a new problem. The very popular Hitachi magic wand cordless is some thing you cannot buy batteries for either even if you are brave enough to open it up and interfere with the lithium ions. There’s pretty much nothing on the market that uses a standard size battery that you can pop the thing open and work with.
