Labelling batteries as jetlag therapy

April 19, 2026/ Rob Miles

.. and I found a new font for the label maker

Feeling bad because you’ve just come back from a wonderful holiday? Stressed out by jetlag? Then why not put some labels on batteries? Worked for me.

In all seriousness, I’ve found these Hixon AA batteries to be very good. The are Lithium Ion based so they last a good while (the makers claim 3,500 milliamp hours).
