People are smart enough to know their kids will rechargeables away too.

Quote from avi.sap :
I'm sorry, but that cost comparison is something you've pulled out of a wazoo !
If you skip Eneloops, even Tenergy Pros or EBL/HiQuick rechargeable are about 20 bucks for a pack of 8, meaning one battery costs under $3 but will allow you to use it about 500 times.
Are you claiming to be able to buy 100 disposable batteries for $3 ? Please respond with a link to such a deal here.
Not only is using rechargeable batteries good economically, it also allows you to pass a lesser polluted planet on to your kids !
Sure, there are some applications where rechargeables don't work - let's hope greater demand for them spurs technological advances there.
I agree with your point, but I'd recommend avoiding EBL. Their ratings are outright lies. I tested their 2500mAh and they're only ~1850mAh. Others have found similar disparities. The best value I've found is Amazon Basics. You can get them for about $1.15-1.30 per battery and they're usually in the ballpark of their rated capacity (sometimes significantly higher).

Quote from sbessire :
I would be shocked if the median number of recharges for AA batteries reaches double digits; 500 is an irrelevant number. I know my rechargeables have not seen 5 recharge cycles, and I've had them for years. Yes, a subset of people will charge them 100s of times...that's really an outlier use case.

Yes, they're great for high-drain/high-use devices...but they're a lousy option for low-drain devices.

I buy rechargeables for high-drain devices like camera flashes, and I use single-use for everything else. Realistically, I wasted my money on the rechargeables for the camera flash.
They're a decent option for low drain devices as well. Modern NiMH (especially if you don't buy the highest capacity) have a very low self-discharge. The big plus is that they very rarely leak. Alkalines love to leak, modern Duracells most of all. I used to be of the opinion that alkalines made more sense for low drain devices but I got tired of constantly cleaning up the mess they left.
