I find it's a much more significant disadvantage that when the
battery's empty, what do you do? Put up with it until you can charge
it. With a device that runs on ordinary batteries, I just open my
puncture spares kit and take out a replacement battery - all my
battery lights run on AAAs already, and I've got a good quality
charger and a stock of low self-discharge NiMH batteries.
