Phone was dying and I was in a hurry, and didn’t get the chance to read it properly until I got home.

Wow. What a waste!
wow. this really should be illegal
Damn, wtf is that e-waste maker 2000??
I mean, what practical purpose this crap has?? One time charge them bye bye?
Rechargeable battery tenders have miniature rechargeable cells inside.
This “one-time only” charger probably has Alkaline cells inside.
If you haven’t disposed of it, pry it open and I’m 101% sure you’ll find miniature alkaline batteries. See if you find rechargeable cells of the same size – else, alkaline cells, and you can reload your charger like it was “bullets in a gun” (lol)
If you have the skills, these things typically contain rechargable lithium cells regardless and sometimes even the charging circuit.
Extremely wasteful but apparently the cheapest way to just use a rechargable cell (same for vapes btw).
idk bout anyone else… but id try and charge it after it was done
That must be the most wasteful product ever invented.
It would cost them 10 cents to add a charger circuit.
This is exactly the thing i would have in my glove compartment for years until the time of need arises, only to remember that i used it on the day I bought it.
What the literal fuck
Bigclive broke one open and found a recharable cell inside. https://youtu.be/6lflk6iY56w?si=i-GjoHxL-w7kjJbe.
Pop the cover off. There is a significant chance it has a port to charge it still attached inside.
Throw away electronics should be illegal. This shit wastes so much resources… we use paper straws while this exists
Why would anyone make that!!!
That should be illegal to sell
Who is producing one-time use power banks? That’s the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen
How wasteful
This is criminal!
We deserve extinction…
talk about e-waste. meanwhile, i have a decade old 20,000 MAh power bank that i still use when i travel.
The battery inside isn’t rechargeable? That’s a lot of unnecessary plastic waste
That’s so wasteful honestly I’d get a rechargeable battery wire that into it
Should be illegal
I once encountered a single-use smoke detector. Whose brilliant idea?
The fact that the message is permanently molded into the material makes it even worse
One day in a hundred thousand years the robots/aliens will find a second giant pile of plastic at the bottom of the ocean filled with e-waste crap like this…
So wasteful! I’m charging up my power bank now.
Mfw they turn disposable vape warehouses into single use charger warehouses after the UK ban
I wish the people who produce these things a hell of eternally melting plastic.
!remindme 6 hours
gaurnfuckignteed theres a rechargable lithiium 18650 in there. this should be illegal.
I’d bet the cell inside there is rechargeable. It’s just cheaper to not include the circuitry to recharge them
If you bust it open is it a rechargeable battery in there or???
Who needs a disposable one-time charger…. Whose bright idea was this?
Well, single use batteries are still very common, not sure why this thing is mildly infuriating. Think of it as a AA battery with a lightning plug.
I do wonder what’s inside, can you crack it open?
This is why Crimes of the Future makes so much sense.
