I bought a nice set of cordless phones, one base and a few satellite phones hooked off it. Within a year the batteries started failing.... A new set of batteries is more then the whole set of phones. At that point I just recycled my phones, and bought two $10 Walmart phones. If I need, I'll get a 50ft extension cord. These phones could last me forever:)
I haven't bought a cordless mouse in years for the same reason. Why would I want to deal with a dead battery when a USB hookup will never let me down?
Prices of batteries keep going up because there are some rare metals involved in making them, and if we aren't careful the prices will soon be so prohibitive we will wonder why we wasted so many batteries in the past.
