Anyone Else Weird Like This?

Interesting. Most children's comments (age up to sometimes 30-40s) reveal insufficient life experience as has been noted on here. I think that a few adults also have had insufficient life experience in some few or more circumstances. That is not to put them down but we all have to experience things before we modify our behaviour.
When I was at high school I did history. I didn't like history because it was just a test as to how many dates you could remember. I thought then, and still do now, that history should be all about how to learn from the experiences of others and to apply the lessons learnt by them to your own life and not to repeat the mistakes. It is this seeming inability to learn from the mistakes of others that has caused this planet to be in the situation it is in now.
Please note here that I am not a good example of doing this either but I am aware of problem.

AzY, The two batteries, one Canon OEM and one knock off, both seem to hold a full charge (per the camera readings) for about a month, maybe a bit longer. I find that is long enough for a 'grab the camera and go' shot should I see something in the yard. We have a state conservation area behind us so I'm generally doing that a couple of times a month. When they seem to be losing the charge too quickly, I'll replace the weaker, and test the older more often.
I was referring to the rotating of the wives

... if you own a D850. Why did Nikon make a camera (D850) which won't take an EN-EL15 but instead requires you to buy EN-EL15a's ?
Chrissybabe: The D850 will work just fine with EN-EL15 also. Check the owners manual. Not sure where it is, but it is in there. Or check the web,in general,which will also confirm. Been using them in rotation with the OEM EN-EL15a that came with it with no problems whatever.

Regarding ID'ing batteries; lenses; bodies; etc.; I too rotate their usage. And being told by a 'younger' person that it was anal, possibly they might consider that the word 'anal' has the SAME first four letters as 'analytical'. I find that VERY Interesting. While I did not read all comments, someone else may have noticed that too. Ray V.

Depends on how many wives I guess. 
Research has shown, that if you number the wives, they will also wear out evenly.

Probably should have elaborated. EN-EL15 clones which work fine in my D800 won't be touched by the D850. So none of the 8-10 we had none can be used in the D850. The generic Wasabi does work however. Camera batteries are the same as printer inks. Give the product away (not that the D850 was a give away price) but charge through the nose for consumables. So a few spares costs an arm-and-a-leg. It makes it harder to keep spares. Especially with having to also upgrade the batteries for the D800 as well so that any battery will work with either camera which makes good sense. 4 batteries each is getting close to $1000 here in NZ. I know why Nikon did it but I don't have to like it.

Oh...good!! You are the one "aware of problem". Whew...glad that has been settled.

I use colored velcro bands wrapped lengthwise on the charged batteries. When used, no band and on the charger they go. Never slapped a discharged battery in the camera again.

If you’re weird, I’m weird. I do essentially the same thing.

With their cost and need for care, Ive always done the same thing with my NiCad and NiMH batteries. I used them in both my DSLR's, speedlights, and flash triggers, so it's important to keep them identified in 4 packs for proper rotation...I also add the purchase date i.e. 9/17 so I don't end up favoring only the newest for example. Prudent?, yes. OCD, perhaps, but anal? Ive never been tempted, despite 'AA' convenient size.
