Rechargeable batteries rank high on the list of those little things that you’ve been meaning to integrate into your life, but which, due to some off-putting inconvenience, you simply haven’t; in this case, the fatal drawback has been self-discharge, the inevitable loss of energy that occurs among rechargeable batteries even when not in use.
