  • NiCd and NiMH batteries die when left in slow drain devices as the first cell to go empty starts to be reverse charged. These die and often leak pretty fast and you see that all the time if you repair old devices.

    Li packs don't go empty as the battery protection circuit cuts the slow drain when they reach low water voltage. They are revived when the protection mode charge reaches low water mark again. They'll be fine unless you leave them for years and years. Even then they generally never leak.

  • Seveneves. Halfway through when they don't kill that monster on sight. A rare point when I've been nearly stopped a book midway and thrown it away. And it just kept getting worse, so maybe I should have.

  • I've probably used a few for closer to a decade. Especially the three button ones in the 90's (in Sgi granite) were nice.

    Actually there's an optical wheel mouse of some sort right here on my desk that I think I got used with a computer in maybe 2012. Model stickers have fallen off, the plastic is worn down and even the metal plate at the top looks as if it had been sanded down. It says Logitech, though.

    But those naturally aren't current models.
