[QUOTE="Daniel Levi, post: 89656, member: 2411"] Re: Batteries pricing online, I can't believe my eyes.... The thing to remember when comparing rechargeables to alkaline is two things, standard rechargeable batteries have a slightly lower voltage output (1.2v vs 1.5v) this won't normally cause a problem but may affect the battery monitoring circuitry and may cause problems if the circuit is expecting batteries with the full 1.5V. The other thing is that while in low drain devices an alkalines life will be comparable to a similarly rated Ni-MH in higher drain devices (digital cameras are a good example) the capacity of an alkaline drops off considerably and will have much lower life than the same Ni-MH rechargeable (even cheap 1300mah Ni-MH batteries will vastly outperform even good alkalines in higher drain devices). Also to note is that some Ni-MH have high self discharge rates and don't store very well. [/QUOTE]
