A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I don't think that there's any battery using current battery technologies that I'd aim to buy for life.
You could maybe get a lantern with removable cells.
NiMH AA cells are replaceable and hold a charge for a relatively long time when not being used relative to other rechargeable cells, so I'd probably favor those over something like lithium 18650s, though their energy density isn't as high.
EDIT: Note that I'm talking about modern, low-self-discharge NiMH batteries.
