Batteries and Pharmaceuticals are great examples.Looking at the flow of shipping containers, it's going to be a while until China will be able to get back into the bulk export business, even if they magically get their workers back to work.

Just a fake one with a battery powered light.

I have had my MacBook Air for 5 years, and just literally replaced the battery, 2 weeks ago.

They work like a charm and battery operated.

I have done a lot of upgrades and reconditioning over the last 9 years of ownership. ( new roof, new a/c , tile floors, new energy efficient windows etc... ) I am thinking about finishing up the remodeling with the cash from the refi, and using the rest on a down payment on a new house and renting my current house out.

Motivation is like a battery it drains over time.

After 6 months or so with batteries recharged, I had the desire to get back in the game again -- And I did, but with a much more manageable role/position.

Rules are good, just make them standard ones that other good landlords are doing.An example of what not to do: don't say you're going to do quarterly inspections (only do inspections every 6 months max and just say it's to change smoke detector batteries and check to see if there are any plumbing leaks and you're in and out in 5 minutes). 

Are there notable benefits to going with the wired option, besides not having to recharge the internal battery every X number of weeks or months?

If the rodent finds the battery line and chews it, then it would seem that Darwin has already come up with a solution to your tenant's problem.
