Lithium batteries are too widely used in my opinion.

I have the IKEA Eneby Bluetooth speaker. Uses 3 AAA. I can just reuse what rechargeable batteries I have. And I can use the speaker as long as I have batteries so I can charge up as many AAAs as I have. The speaker is no larger than most speakers. You can also recharge the batteries inside the speaker if you want.

So many things would be just fine with normal AA or AAA batteries.

There are lithiums in a similar size as AA and company, and are standards that hold more power. Like the 18650 or the 21700. They're perfectly viable as batteries honestly, and they've caused a revolution in stuff like flashlights.

I'm trying not to poo-poo lithiums since they honestly are super good. I'm just upset about this immense level of waste.
