Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They're well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they'll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said "USB input" and didn't specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.

Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.

@XeroxCool @Entitle9294 I often read of people claiming to have broken many ports and/or cables. I can't understand how they do it.

Micro was weak and largely people's first experience with frequent-use plugging. Cheap cables don't last long. Car use is abusive, even using the phone while charging is harsh. Moving the phone by the wire. Hard cable angles to keep the phone upright in stands, cup holders, cups, whatever. Rolling the cable tight for storage or travel. Pulling by the cable to unplug instead of by the head. Accidentally tripping on cables or otherwise yanking them. It's death by 1,000 papercuts for the cable. Shit happens.
