minus-squareUndaunted@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoTrue, but if the voltage is the main concern, there are li-ion based rechargeable ones that deliver stable 1.5V until they’re nearly empty.
minus-squareryannathans@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoDo they have a built in buck converter?
minus-squareUndaunted@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoI’m not sure if it’s a buck converter specifically because iirc there are different types of converters that lead to the same result. But something along those lines, yes.
minus-squarehenfredemars@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoDigital cameras famously have issues with rechargeables for that reason. They’re really picky about getting that voltage at the 1.5V per cell level.
