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

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.

Not sure what thermostats you have, but I've been using Harmony remotes with NiMH, usually eneloop equivalents but others too.
Never had a problem.

I actively avoid Alkaline, leaks and mess. Everybody wins.
I have standard Honeywell programmables.

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.

Curious why not use rechargeable ones for such high use?

WEll, they last however long they last, and I swap them out. Usually enough months that I forget when I last put them in. So seems good enough.

I bet this is not a slick deal... A long time ago, I bought a pack of a ton of AAs like this, and they were TOTAL JUNK. Just speculation, but feels like it is likely to be a get-what-you-pay-for rather than a good deal on decent stuff.

My highest use of AA are water timers, and rechargables are a no go.

Rechargeable are expensive and not going well with kids toys because kids only play their toys once awhile and adults will have hard time remembering which one has the rechargeable inside.

It's easy to figure out what type of battery is in the toy when the batteries die. Kids toys are the whole reason we switched to rechargeables, you just have to have keep some charged so they are ready. Rechargeables are more expensive up front, but much cheaper in the long run. In addition, I have never had a rechargeable leak.
