The problem with NiMH rechargeable batteries is that they are 1.2V not 1.5v like alkaline batteries. Certain devices, particularly those that operate at radio frequencies, will not indicate a full charge with 1.2V NiMH batteries. Lithium batteries do operate at 1.5V, but they are generally much more expensive—at least the ones made in Japan/Korea that have decent mAH capacity.
I use a lot of Rechargeable batteries and my experience is that they don't seem to have the "punch" of single-use batteries. I think someone commented that the lower voltage of rechargeables may be the reason. For example we have motion activated lights on the staircases and when we use fairly new 2800 mah rechargeable batteries these lights cast an adequate amount of yellowish light but when we use a single-use battery —the same lights look like a bright white spotlight.

Anybody who goes through a 200-pack of AA batteries before they leak really ought to consider switching to rechargeables.
businesses have some uses for this. We give out AA batteries for our wireless keyboards like candy

So amazon thinks lets outdo Costco on the wholesale front... maybe its for flea market or bodega owners to split up and resell??
There's also a difference in quality. Both Kirkland and Duracell sold at Costco have 12-year shelf life. These Amazon batteries are only 5-year.

My #1 frustration with alkalines is their tendency to leak and ruin electronic devices. I've cleaned out or repaired enough battery compartments to stop buying low quality batteries.

Me too. I've had more leaky Duracell than any other brand, and don't buy them anymore. Costco started selling Duracell "PowerBoost" with longer claimed shelf life, but I'll hold out for at least a decade.

I just threw away a pack of mostly unused and leaked Duracell bought a year ago, after discovering them damaged several electric devices.

You're all too lazy to recycle dead batteries? It's not that hard to fine a place to take them. Shame on you DealHunterNYC212 and yyyy.

So you don't mind throwing 200 disposable batteries in the trash instead of using rechargeables that would last you for 10+ years? I've got Sanyo Eneloops from 2006 and most of them still work fine.

Even at these prices rechargeables are cheaper in the long run anyway whether you care about the environment or not.
Don't get morality superior unless you're willing to divulge every part of your lifestyle.
Everyone has their place they splurge. Flights. Long drives. Big house. Power sports. Ect.

Second this. 12 year shelf life means nothing.

Funny enough, their rechargeables are in a lightning flash sale right now. Looks like their 10 year shelf life alkalines have the 10% off too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NWWH..._mob_i_atc

Wish they would just make more items that are USB-C rechargeable. These batteries are such a waste and costly.
