Most devices & gadgets are rechargeable nowadays. The only thing I have that still requires batteries is a headlamp but even those are available in rechargeable varieties. House smoke detectors need a battery too.

    9v are on their way as what’s left of their dwindling niche use cases that are progressively being replaced by rechargable ones.

    guitar guy here. 9v is here to stay, almost every peripheral or active pickup uses them.

      Yeah, you’re right, they’re not going anywhere as well, they’re just so niche, a lot of people would probably spend their entire lives without seeing one.

      C & D are definitely on their way out tho.
