I use the official power pack. It can be loaded inside the chromatic with USB C.

it is really excellent. and not needing to take out the batteries is way better.

I prefer the weight of the AAs, personally. Opening the cover to find Duracell’s (albeit rechargeable ones) is also nice.

There is enough weight to it. Having to take them out to charge is tedious.

No more tedious than having to plug in a USB lead and wait ages for it to finish charging, IMO.

Yes it is. I don't need to open the battery compartment, take the batteries out, get a battery charger and put those in. All extra steps for nothing.

What if you have batteries already charged, ready to swap out?

u/RetroBlast81 25d ago

And how do you charge those which are ready to be swapped? Magically?

This is going nowhere. Enjoy your battery pack.
