Chief Energy Officer

I did some quick math and concluded I spend about 10 hours a year charging and replacing batteries, plus another 30 hours if you include time waiting at EV charging stations during roadtrips.

Considering that I manage roughly 64 battery-powered devices, I've decided that I deserve a proper title. Henceforth, in my home, I shall be known as the Chief Energy Officer. In return for this honor, I will diligently fulfill the following duties:

Responsible for charging:

• Robotic vacuum and mop
• Coffee scale
• iPad, iPhone, MacBook Pro and Apple watch
• Electric Vehicle *
• Road Bike with electric shifting
• Four bike lights and a bike computer
• Two Apple TV Remotes
• Two Nintendo game controllers and one tvOS game controller
• One USB Travel battery pack
• Three pairs of AirPods and 2 pairs of over-the-air headphones
• Six camera batteries
• Bike pump

Total Time Charging Devices: ≈ 37.7 hours/year
* ~30 hours are spent on EV charging primarily at roadside charging stations

Responsible for ordering and replacing batteries for:

• Three smart locks (Lithium AA and CR2)
• Five TV remotes (AA and AAA)
• Two Bike power meters and a Bluetooth to Ant Bike Computer translator (CR2032)
• Rice Cooker (CR2045)
• Twelve alarm sensors (123 Lithium)
• Garage door sensor (CR2450)
