By the time you reach my age, changing batteries in the remote control (or anything else) usually starts with a search for my reading glasses. If I can put the batteries in the wrong way, I will.
Microsoft (go figure?) has come up with a really elegant and practical solution for this problem. They have designed a battery holder that has both a positive and a negative terminal. This means that no matter how the battery is oriented, it will still work. Genius.
All these combinations are possible
By using this
Microsoft’s Instaload system is compatible with AA, AAA, C, D and CR123 (all the major battery types used in multiples) and it will require only a minor redesign by any manufacturer of a battery powered device that wants to integrate it.
Surprisingly, Microsoft is making this design available under a royalty free license so that any manufacturer can adopt it.
Maybe Microsoft has finally come up with a winner.
