Ok, Yoda's little April Fools Day joke is messing with my eyes too much.
A year ago today, I was Paul Rudd.

That's the part that I'm most interested in, since we do have a bunch of outdoor cameras, with probably more coming.

essentially anything that is a high energy drain or in extreme temp swings will benefit, except camera flashes. they will cause issues
i do keep alkaline cells around for emergencies, but these lithium rechargeable are probably beast for flashlights. shouldn’t have any drop off in lumens with em

Report back on this when you have some idea. We go through AAs like crazy around here.
well, it’s already fixed one problem and that’s the low battery indicator on the GBA doesn’t freak out from the extra draw of the upgraded screen. normally it’d drop from green to red within the first hour and it’s held steady for well over 2.

i bought this two pack for testing. i’ll keep you informed tho - https://a.co/d/gj5mGJ0
Added them to my Amazon wishlist so this doesn't get lost.
i just put another hour on them and still solid green.
