Battery Eliminator Store – Never Buy or Replace a Battery Again

Neat idea. Just tonight I went to use my dr ho and realized I left it on last time killing my battery. Almost thought about hooking it up to my variable power supply.
Genius, why use rechargeable batteries when I can tether my portable device to a plug pack!
It appears that you forgot to end your sentence with `/s`. The first time I read it, I did not see this as sarcasm, and so did not understand why @superpie responded to you the way she did.
Now reading your comment again after a few days, it's clear that it's sarcasm. So it would've really helped the "slow" people, like myself, to see the sarcasm right away, and respond to your real concern/intent.
I guess the lesson is, people on the internet can't read your facial expressions, so make those expressions explicit by using the small cues like /s liberally :-) That's why I use this generic smiley liberally in my conversations, to show that even though I might be complaining about something, I'm in a generally happy mood, and don't want the reader to get the idea that I'm pissed, which is the default expression a reader might perceive me to be in.
Back on topic. Yes, this gadget seems useless for portable things that you actually move around quite a lot, e.g. a toddler's toys. But many products use batteries, and yet they are not moved around much, or at all, e.g. Keyboards, TV remotes (the ones that are used only to turn the TV on or off), Kitchen appliances, Game controllers, etc. This would be a great idea for those portable-but-not-usually-moved battery-powered products.
I agree with @sidpatil, though, that these should be cheaper so that the customer may want to at least consider using this product before popping in the next set of batteries. Bonus points if you can make the visible parts in different colours to match the customers' other appliances.

It seems this is more likely for devices that are stationary but limited to battery power. Off the top of my head, I could imagine replacing the battery in my electronic front door lock with a tidy hardwire to avoid the need for occasional replacement.
Amazon has similar products in the 10–20 USD range. Still a lot of money, but far more reasonable.
