For a woodburner, are these necessary?

Other than that we are all electric

Which reminds me.
Anyone actually ever counted how many batteries we have to maintain in our homes these days? I'll bet its more than you would imagine.

I guessed 20 and it's well more than that.

2 cars 2
1 laptop 3
9 tablets and phones 12
16 remote controls 28
4 power tools 32 - and I try and avoid battery tools because they get used infrequently and inevitably have no charge when you need them
4 clocks 36
1 kitchen timer 37
2 Hearing aids 39

There are probably a few in addition plus of course all those Christmas lights that are battery driven.

I buy all of our batteries from Amazon.fr the Amazon Basics range - just had 100 AAs for 25,84 euros delivered as I have a lot of Christmas lights that take 3 AAs each, halloween lights & lamps and garden lights :roll:

Holy Cow! You guys must have your own battery bin at the dechetterie.

Word of advice. Don't be tempted by very cheap multipacks of TOPcell batteries at Action. "Super Extra Heavy Duty" my arse.
one of their AA size lasts less than a month in my kitchen clock, and their performance in a computer mouse is equally dire.

I bought several packs of Duracell from Amazon some time back. They were well in date but didn't last long in anything, when I complained to the supplier I was reimbursed very quickly, and was told to dump the rest of my order, made me wonder if they were snides, I just get them as and when now from Super U.
