Try NiMH. They last 10 years no matter how quick it uses them.

Bad info there; they go dead by self-discharge in a few months, only with
multiple recharges do they last so long. A clock that\'s wrong every few
months is... much worse than one that works five or ten years on an alkaline C cell.
Keeping a note of battery insertion date would clear up this kind of confusion,
in a few months.

Musk got it in his mind that most devs at Twitter were LAZY LIBS and
they were putting some secret LIB ALGORITHM in the code.

He\'s discovered that actually they were some of the top developers in
the US and whatever their politics are, they\'re not going to be pushed
around by this guy, lots of other companies will pay them them as well
as he would.
