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.
Never had a problem.
I actively avoid Alkaline, leaks and mess. Everybody wins.
The Eneloops work in my Harmony remotes but will die a lot faster than with Alkalines (random reboots and such.) In fact it happened to me yesterday afternoon coincidentally enough. The batteries tested good on a battery tester and would work on other devices but not on my remote. These were Duracell made in Japan batteries too so slow discharge.
Alkalines had their place and time but yeah, clocks and such I generally use cheap Carbon Zinc batteries in.
Great batteries. I have a few sets of these.
