i concur

i use rechargable 1.5V Eneloops AA and AAA for everyday needs

i use primary disposable lithiums in flashlights used for longterm storeage, in survival pack, jockey box, bedside draw

i only use aklalines when those others are out-of-juice and i need power now (ie: placed in tiny ziplock bags, i leave a few alkalines in each vehicle for when my Eneloops or lithiums run out)
