Ok but like why?

I get wanting a battery you don't have to plug in every 15 minutes. But why not go for a 18 hour battery, or even a 5 day battery?

2 years is just silly.

Engineering mindset + creativity = lots of weird useless shit that paves the way for slightly less weird but actually useful shit.

Would love to not have to plug something in for 2 or 3 years knowing I can play with the toy on the go.

And then having absolutely no clue where the power cable is after putting it somewhere you tell yourself you'll definitely remember where you put it.

If the battery lasts 3 years, just putting some solar panels on the back of the device would be enough to keep it charged.

Batteries slowly discharge by themselves even when not in use so it'll still be dead. Adding more cells doesn't help since they discharge at the same rate.
