Regular
Phone, usually once in three or four days, but right now it is acting up so
I need to charge once a day.
Laptop, always plugged in when at home, which is most of the time.
Tablet, mostly once a week or thereabouts, since I usually use it only for
armchair reading.
Bluetooth headset, once every two to four days, depending on use. (I do my
walks with wired headphones because my phone requires the wire-as-antenna
for me to listen to FM radio.)

Other
Camera, depends on use. I have two batteries, and usually charge one
immediately it runs out and I switch, so that I have a spare charged
battery in my camera bag.
Old iPod, which I carry around when travelling. The display has died, so
its always an adventure.

Aside from that, an emergency light is always plugged in — occasional power
outages — and a desk lamp that has a battery which I move around to
wherever I feel like drawing in the non-daylight hours.
Other things that use batteries I don}t bother with rechargeables: clock,
thermometer, and in a sign of the times, a pulse-oximeter.
