Lithium VS AA in controllers?

AA's because you can buy a play and charge kit so that way if your batteries die, they can be easily replaced instead of replacing the entire controller.
Options = Good.

options are good, but honestly one time use alkalines should be banned lol. they make WAY too much toxic waste.

everyone should use NiMH rechargable AA/AAAs honestly.

one thing I wish was possible is the switch pro controller having removable batteries. its not like cell phones where they just put in a pouch where it being removable would be unsafe: its a LITERAL OG 3ds battery stuck in it

I have to use 1-time use Alkalines for my Intrinsically safe torches. (Can't use Lithium obviously, unless you want something exploding on your helmet and chest in 600-1,000C~ temperatures!) and NiMH doesn't have the operating voltage to give me max brightness.

And I need to use 1.5v Lithium Cells for all my pagers, they don't seem to enjoy the 1.2v operating voltage of the NiMH cells.

But my Nintendo Switch PowerA Breath of the Wild Gold controller, Xbox 360 controllers, Xbox One controllers, household remote controls for TV/Sound System/Clocks all have no issues with the NiMH cells.

I did actually buy play and charge Lithium packs for all my Xbox 360 controllers, but over time lithium fails... So just binned them and went back to using NiMH AA.

In my opinion Microsoft has made the choice that keeps both camps happy, however... They should include a lithium Play and Charge kit with every controller as well as retain AA battery support.
