Yep - that is what I mean too - sorry if I wasn't clear
about it :) In Denmark the old type of non-rechargeable
batteries are called "brunsten" which translated gives
"brownstone". I don't know the proper english term, but
has found them called regular. They are made of a carbon
stick with a zinc powder mix.
As far as I know Lithium Ion batteries are even better
in this area. That's the kind used in both my digicam
and my mobile phone, but if bought in aa or aaa sizes
they are really really expensive ;(
