This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I know it's proper usage of the word accumulators, but I've basically never heard anyone refer to them that way.
Are you a part of the Borg by any chance, OP? ๐
it's "Akku"(s) or "Akkus"(p) in german :-)
We also have accu in Dutch, but we mostly use that for more integrated rechargeable batteries I think. We use that term for car and phone batteries for example, but not usually for rechargeable AA batteries in your TV remote or whatever.
blessedly we just call batteries "batterier", but the fun comes when you get into components where capacitors are "kondensatorer", which even to natives just sounds like it's supposed to get so cold that water condenses on it lmao
