though if you use batteries alot, recharchable batteies is the alternative than buying X number of betteries for replacement.

That's the only place where I use them. I have an adapter for my usb flash drive that lets it play mp3s, it would be a real pain to keep buying batteries for that so recharable work good in that situation. They don't last as long but it doesn't matter because I always have another pair right there ready to go. They are good in some situation and not in others.

I completely agree. For devices that need constant use of batteries, rechargables are the prefered choice.

I use normal ones for devices like clock, remote control etc. My keyboard/mouse use rechargables.

Just noticed, ive spelt "rechargables" incorrectly in my other post

Yep, remotes and stuff that you don't change very often work fine with regular ones.

Fortunately for you there is the "edit" button.

Yes i know there is an edit button. I can change my posts but i cant change the spelling when someone else has already quoted me in their posts.

True, I didn't even think of that. Hopefully no one is too aware to notice. 8)

What about those new rechargeable batteries that charge in 15 minutes?

damn, i still use the old type that take like 7-8 hours to charge.

Damn! You teleport to the store or something?

No. Ive got a battery rack that I've always keep some in. And even if I don't have one it's still easier to walk over to Eckerd's (or now CVS/pharmacy) and get some.

By the way, which brand of rechargable betteries do you guys use?

Ive heard some good brands do tend to last longer than cheap rechargables and are more efficient.

Or do you use the ones that were supplied with the charger.

I use UNIROSS Ni-Cd.

rechargables are a poor choice for remotes also. look for higher aH ratings they last longer between charges. 23/2400 are better than 1800.

And you never really have to replace remote batteries that often.
