Because Sod's law decrees that just when you're about to take out your
digicam, r/c toy or whatever you realise you haven't recharged the
batteries for ages and you'd better do it now. That's when being able to
slap them in the Vanson and get green LEDs within 10 or 20 minutes is
_much_ more convenient than waiting 14 hours!

I can see that with something like a camcorder. But the question was about
AA cells which must be being used in something which doesn't have its own
charger etc. So will require the discipline of changing batteries and also
having spares?

As for the "complication", why does everyone want the complication of a
mobile phone? It's only complicated to the designer: for the user
it makes life simpler.

But don't the design of these allow for easy recharging - you just plug
them in at the end of the day? Of course I don't use my mobile as much as
most.
