(...) I prefer rechargeable alkalines myself (such as Rayovac Renewal). They have the same nominal cell voltage as alkalines, charge quickly, have excellent shelf life, and no memory effect. The downside is that their total charge is somewhat less (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
