It looks like **[Planned Obsolescence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence)** has become a reality we cannot escape and **Rechargeable Batteries** are now **design to fail after 2 or 3 years of usage**...

This should be illegal.  **Image Source: [TheWealthAdvisor.com](https://www.thewealthadvisor.com/article/your-future-home-might-be-powered-car-batteries)** --- **What Batteries should I get next?** ---
