Remember Duracell’s PowerCheck? The idea was that a strip built into the battery would show if the battery was good or not. Sure, you could always get a meter or a dedicated battery tester &#…

oh maybe might watch

I really miss it honestly. Kids, so, so many batteries in my house.

Your kids will inherit that charger, and their kids afterward.
