I know these are currently out of fashion but I’m still thankful they exist.
Let’s remind ourselves of devices that use(d) these standardized batteries:
Thanks to having a standardized system of batteries,
If you look at the pros I listed, they all happen to be things that would be very useful for electric cars. So I think it would aid the adoption of electric cars if their batteries were standardized too.

My wireless mouse is running on the same 2 AAAs for over a year already. I have no idea how. They still show 1.2V. I expected like a week or two.
The logitech g305 runs on a single rechargable AA for half a year and is probably the only reason I even considered a wireless mouse
I use a Logitech Marathon M705 mouse that lasts 3 years on two AA batteries, according to Logitech. I’ve got Eneloops in it that I’ve been using for around 10 years now, and I’ve had to charge them maybe 4 times in total?
I’ve got an older model. They cheaped out on newer revisions, making the plastic thinner and replacing the metal scroll wheel with a plastic one.
