Rechargeable batteries can be used hundreds of times and provide tremendous value after the third or fourth recharge itself, not to mention the environmental advantages that we will get.
Why these one-time use batteries continue to sell is a mystery to me !
That said, these batteries seem to not be good quality, so I'll pass on this one.

As for rechargeables, there's too many tradeoffs for the benefits some perceive that are of no value to me.
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.

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.
My next biggest use case is for the electronic door locks on my entrance doors. They are also not very heavy usage, and I only replace them once every few months - again, rechargeables.
Festive lighting and backyard lighting are the only other uses I now have...
Granted, the number of these devices in my house is in single digits (thermostats and a Logitech Harmony remote) but they do exist.
This is a fantastic deal but I suspect the batteries would go bad before I could use them all in those few devices.
Never had a problem.
I actively avoid Alkaline, leaks and mess. Everybody wins.

I hate having to resync the thermometers and remotes every month....case in point are clocks that did not automatically receive the time change signal Sunday morning.due to low voltage cells.
