Buy Rechargeable Batteries!

I don't care for rechargeables Ron, we have this old charger we bought years ago and we eventually stopped bothering to use it. I found that rechargeable AA batteries don't last nearly as long as the regular ones. I just buy batteries from Costco when they're on sale.

Things have changed over the years. I literally have some Apple rechargeable batteries that I bought in 2009. They still work just fine.
 

"I found that rechargeable AA batteries don't last nearly as long as the regular ones."

They're not meant to! You simply recharge them.

You use a rechargeables in your car, cellphone, tablet, laptop etc. Why not in your AA applications?
 
I have a hard time remembering when I got a message saying my rechargeable batteries needed charging! I got a message saying my cable tv remote batteries needed to be replaced. I'll install my rechargeable batteries, and eagerly await the arrival of the new ones to serve my ever-growing electronics collection.
 
I bought some Ray-O-Vac rechargeable batteries and charger, about 5 years ago, to use in the camera, etc. It seemed that they would only take a couple dozen pictures before the "check battery" light would come on. I then bought some Duracell "Procell" batteries on EBAY, and they take 4 or 5 times more pictures than the rechargeables, before I have to switch batteries. Now, these Procell batteries are the Only batteries I buy...they are made primarily for EMT's, Police, Fireman, etc., and are far better than anything I have ever bought in the stores. I get them from EBAY at a fraction of the price I would pay for "inferior" batteries in the stores.

Don M. You didn't buy the rechargeable batteries that I bought. At any rate, whatever works for you.
