I have used ONLY NiMH rechargables in radios, flashlights, cameras, ... everything around the house... and they last me sometimes a year or more of recharging. They are especially good for radios. Very good in cameras. I'm confident it saves me money. It certainly spares the landfill. And it spares me thinking about buying batteries all the damn time. Get one of those chargers with slots for each individual cell--one that can handle as many consumer battery types as possible. Very convenient. And the batteries have been getting markedly more powerful year-by-year recently. I bet I'll be looking at 2800s next time I buy. I used to get exited over 2000s.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
