Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No?

Posted by Cliff on from the they-keep-going-and-going-and-going dept.

TheFifthElephant asks: "I currently use quite a few devices that require various size batteries and I feel horrible just tossing them when they die. I saw a recharger at a retail store today and was thinking to myself how much waste it would reduce by using rechargeable ones. Which units have you used happily and/or which units have you heard of/read about satisfying someone else? Are the more expensive units better? What chemical rechargeable batteries last the longest/recharge the most?"

    I use monster brand and it does me well, I hear there are better though. Monster costs quite a bit thought but so far works great for me, and seems to recharge pretty fast

    They can't be that bad for the environment, I mean those little Cadmium Cream Eggs are SO GOOD around Easter-time.

    NiMH batteries are great but they have the downside of losing charge very quickly "on the shelf" so you can't keep a bunch of charged MiMH batteries ready to use.

    Is that the "Secret of NiMH"?

    I like how you feel the need to threats at random moderators that are completely anonymous to you 3 lines after you mention others having issues with their penis size.
