Use electrical appliances. These electrical appliances consume power quickly, and the battery needs to be replaced once every half a month or a month. This kind of rechargeable battery is the best choice. Although the rechargeable battery is expensive, it is often used and the battery is replaced frequently.

Such as remote controls, tape recorders, flashlights, multimeters, electronic locks and other electrical appliances that use disposable dry batteries. These electrical appliances consume very little power, especially the remote control. The batteries are basically replaced once every 6 to 12 months, so there is no need to use rechargeable batteries for these appliances. Because the rechargeable battery is firstly expensive, and secondly, it is in a state of discharge for a long time without charging, which will affect the life of the battery.
