The voltage/voltage curve are different between the three types of AA/AAA battery. Alkaline batteries has a gradual decline in voltage as you use them. Lithium voltage remains high for a lot longer, but then rapidly decline in voltage as it about to die. Rechargeable NiMH/NiCad batteries are similar to lithium curve, but they start out a lower voltage of 1.2V nominal while the others are 1.5V nominal.

Some devices require higher voltage and stop working pretty quickly with rechargeable compared to non rechargeable due to rechargeable starting at around 1.2v. These devices may also work longer using lithium batteries due to the voltage curve, but may have a side effect of not alerting you when the battery is low if it wasn't designed with lithium batteries in mind. Because of this it may not be advise to use lithium in smoke detector or other safety devices if it calls for alkaline in the case the smoke detector batteries dies without warning.

Non rechargeable is also good for very low power draw devices like clocks and remotes because there's not much point in using rechargeable in devices when it takes years for the batteries to deplete.

Last thing to note is that I'm talking about 1.2v/1.5v AAA/AA/C/D batteries and not talking about 3v primary / 3.6v secondary batteries like CR123A/RCR123A.

Double D's or Triple D's? Have not seen a Slickdeal on those recently.
In either case, you need to look in the Plastic Surgeon forum.

25 cents per AA Alkaline is the basis I use for a great deal. These are less than a quarter a piece... so, great deal!

So with lots of rechargeable batt deals, what do ppl use these for? Remote and kid toys I use rechargeable, but I found out some specific items need "lithium" AA or AAA batteries rated 1.5v for example my primary keyboard and mouse (Logitech) if I don't put 1.5v ones they act funny. Similar with August door lock. Lastly I have a trimmer that uses AAA and very picky on battery type.

I use the rechargeable batteries on items that require frequent replacements (toys mostly.) For like remotes, I use these alkaline batteries as they don't require replacement for a longtime.

Even with my efforts to save money and earth, my wife recharges non-rechargeable batteries and dispose the rechargeable batteries. I don't know why she keeps doing that.
