I agree.

The rechargeable batteries are for everyday use DD's cd player, clocks, remotes,etc.

I keep a stash of alkaline batteries for emergency use.



Read the other threads, there are decent rechargeable batteries. a test of my own was to fill two battery packs for a radio, one with rechargeables and one with lithium that had both sat for a year and I measured the run time and they were equal. Good rechargeables like eneloops are better than alkaline.
