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.
Are these good or will they burst? I have had too many cheap batteries burst in my remotes and flashlguhts
I have used these batteries for quite some time. I have never had any leak or burst, unlike many others. I always had bad luck with Duracell leaking. I had several Ray-o-vac leak, right out of the package, last time I bought them. Not to say these never will.
With this brand the 48 pack is usually wrapped in 6s, & the 100pk are wrapped in 10s. this makes them real handy, as they don't fall all over after taking a few out of the package. The AAA 40pk was wrapped in 4s.
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.
My wife dispose the rechargeable batteries all the time. after a while all my nice Panasonic batteries are disappeared.
I can't verify this personally, and I haven't compared the prices of competing batteries, but according to this article from 2019 ACDelco AAs provide excellent bang for the buck (search the page for the brand name to see what they say about them), but they definitely don't run as long as higher end batteries. Seems like a solid deal if they fit your use case and you keep your expectations realistic.

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.

Thanks yeah, I read a bit more on it all as I am now using Lithium rechargeable AmpTorrent brand for about 2 years now on my KB and mice for work/personal as none of them play well with nimh LSD batts. Now I'm wondering if I want to invest in AAA lithium just for the little trimmer, but I really like it and it's picky AF on batteries.
