i have alot of things myself i charge (maybe not everyday but still)
phone
watch
vape (2 sets of 18650s)
2x wireless set of headphones/earbuds
bluetooth speaker
it became kind of a routine for me since i'm a tech enthousiast
Most of these are either backups in case a battery dies, or i use em in some situations(ie not wearing full over ear headphones in the summer and using wireless buds instead). The only device i do charge every night is my phone. Most of everything i own lasts at least 2 days on a single charge.

Oh, I'm always charging SOMETHING, I've just gotten used to it (including unplugging stuff or whatnot) as I am leaving the house. It helps that I have most stuff in a power bank I can switch off.

Where I live the all night generator is a giant fire barrel fed by giant scoops of coal by a giant fuel guzzling loader from a giant pile of coal delivered by a giant fuel guzzling train. I try each day to do my part to make that pile of coal last a little longer.
Example; I'm driving down the road to work each day so I charge my phone from the truck. Trucks already running, so why not? With 5 power points I keep battery banks topped up too. Turn off 6 strip outlets loaded with dc to ac convertors to charge laptops, power speakers or the tv. My flashlights are really bright with low settings providing plenty of light. My fridge has plastic bottles loaded with water to keep empty space cold or frozen. I turn up the thermostat when it gets real hot and crank the speed up on house fans, cook and heat the home and water with natural gas and use night lights throughout the house to keep from having to turn lights on at times.
My clocks run off aa batteries and my watches are solar charged. 2 weeks without power in an all electric apartment 350 miles away from anybody I knew while my slice of planet earth was was covered by 6 inches of ice taught me a lesson or two. And as my hometown grew and demanded more electricity I noticed my asthsma flares up when the wind from the all night generator blows towards my home.
I'm no tree hugger mind you. But I do understand the virtues of living like they did in Abraham Lincolns day.

I think what's more important than what you're charging, and there are many items we use every day that require it, but assuring you're charging your items safely. Virtually all the rechargeable items we use rely on Li batteries. These batteries, whether in your phone or mod can fail spectacularly if improperly charged. Using the correct cord in the correct wall wart is important to battery health to avoid overheating either at the transformer end or the device end, being available should troubles occur (not leaving things to charge when you're not home or asleep), and making sure everything has been kept damage free before charging (charging a non-waterproof item when wet is, well, not good).
For vaping, using brand name batteries from reliable sources (info is available around here on sources and you should read Mooch's blog on this site who is our pretty much official tester of batteries for the vape world) that can supply the requirements of the devices you have at the power settings you choose, and using a quality external battery charger for the 18650/20x series batteries commonly used is best practice. For mods with internal batteries, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer (hopefully correct, but in the vaping world that's a big assumption) and again, charge only with an adequate transformer/wall wart (I've yet to see a mod manufacturer include anything more than a one foot USB cable, so for that you're on your own, I'd avoid the $0.99 gas station ones and just spend a few bucks on Amazon) and only on a non-flammable surface while you are present at least in the house while awake. Don't just leave stuff charging all night expecting the cutoff circuitry on an inexpensive mod to keep you, your family, and your property safe.

Most of my devices are charged in the living-room. 2 6ft wires hanging over both ends of the couch using magnetic connectors and smart chargers.
These new lipo mods are sweet with how fast they charge. I have Mods, headphones, remotes, tablets, powerbanks and phones attached mostly.

Lots of charging going on at home, for sure.
Tons of micro USB devices, a few type C devices, Nimh AA/AAA, lots of 18650s and a few odd ball sizes like 10440 and 16350 cells.

Actually, I never even thought about it.
Until this thread popped up and I started counting devices here requiring a charge.
Now I will go back to not thinking about it.
However, my devices are all either charged, or charging, and mostly ready to rock'n'roll!!!

I feel like I’m in a hopelessly endless loop of charging stuff. My phone, watch, kindle, wireless speaker, vape stuff, laptop, portable power thing, and batteries for my push mower, weed trimmer, and leaf blower. I’m glad the roomba docks itself.
Thank you, you just reminded me I need to charge the batteries for my weed trimmers.
I knew there was something I missed...
. Dang batteries!Roomba has brains??? Cool, I might have to get one. Dog and cats might dig a roomba and I would get some free entertainment out of that. Awesome.

Well, I have to pick up the dog toys daily, and it chases the dogs around, so we all get a little exercise. It does great on the hardwood floors, too much dog hair on the area rugs though. I’m thinking about getting the dog hair module. Have to look for reviews for that. It really does a number on the fluffy stuff that gets caught on the chair legs and the edges of the room where the vacuum can’t get.
Oh yeah. I forgot my bluetooth speaker. I need to add that to my list. I was reading through the forums and running around the house plugging in and unplugging numerous things that were charging. I almost need another day off from work.
Thats what i need to do. Set up a charge station of sorts. Vape charging alone includes 6 18650's, 4 27700's, 2 pods, 2 internal battery tube mods. Then 2 laptops, cell phone, wireless headphones, bluetooth speakers, car jump pack, rechargeable weed wacker, umm umm..... I know theres more......
Oh yeah, my tablet which I happen to have in my hands. How did I forget that haha. That was a pencil in the ear moment. Reading some replies just reminded me of my power tools batteries. Okay, Im done. Tired just thinking of it.

12!! YikesLooks like I must be living the simple life. Just my phone and twelve 18650's to charge.
well, i've been charging 18 18650s, but now i have a great charger, skyrc mc3000.
so, i just ordered some rechargable AAs.
i don't even know what chemistry those are, but this charger is supposed to
charge them.
if this works, i'll get some c cells.

Jeepers, I read some people charge things overnight, I don't recommend that even for phones. I'm always in and checking too. Had a good make AA explode a few years ago, spectacular fireworks, daytime fortunately.
The charging station is a good plan, one switch to turn the lot off. I have a lot of batts and cells, slow charging camera packs are the most demanding of my time.
