Beyond the AA BatteryWhat if you could replace two AA batteries with a USB-C rechargeable module that fits right into the same battery compartment? That’s exactly the idea behind Shrouk’s new project: a compact PCB that works as a drop-in replacement for a standard 2 x AA battery setup, bringing USB-C recharging to everyday devices that were never designed for it.
