It’s customary to look for rechargeable batteries for price or for environment or otherwise. My go-to guide on the matter thus far: rechargeable battery is like LED light bulbs of AAs, high upfront but cheaper in the long run. AA or AAA batteries go into remotes are less an issue — they tend to last a lot longer than common household appliances. Perhaps children’s toys, mouse and keyboard, if they are not USB based yet, are few household items that can take real advantage of rechargeable batteries.

Right to repair calls for many things. I generally have mixed opinions on the movement. On one hand, I want manufacturer to build more durable, not more fixable, devices to begin with. On the other hand, if such an option is not possible for certain parts, i.e. battery, I want companies make it repairable, as the parts in question, in my opinion, are expendable. Lithium ion batteries have physical lifespan of 2-3 years, and I believe it falls under the later category. And, frankly, I am yet to find more reputable sources to buy batteries from.
