  1.  @superchuck3259  Smart chargers that cycle and condition NiMH rechargeable batteries can keep them healthy. Many people misuse or improperly charge them or leave them at a discharged state and damage them or throw them away when they get too depleted to receive a charge from a cheap charger. I have four AA NiMH batteries I bought in 2016 that get heavy daily use and they`re still going strong.

  2.  @Jackson-T23  Good luck when your throwaway batteries leak and destroy something. I`ve been using rechargeable batteries for three decades. If you`re too lazy to put batteries in a charger you have serious issues. I used EBL D cell rechargeable batteries in my expensive radio receivers and have never had any issue with them. I also use NiMH and lithium batteries exclusively as my emergency power source in case of hurricanes or in case I cannot pay my electric bill or the power grid fails. After one hurricane we had to buy NINE D cell batteries per day to keep a fan running. I paid 35 dollars for 8 NiMH D cell batteries and charger that be connected to a solar panel. They can be recharged 1200 times. So I got 9800 batteries for the cost of a couple of dozen normal batteries. Three of them will power my Sony ICF-19 radio for over 200 hours and four of them will power my CCrane EP PRO for three weeks 24/7. I have a set of four AA Energizer NiMH batteries I`ve used daily since Sept 2016 to power a Grundig G6 radio while I sleep. Alkalines will last three days max doing this. So nothing you said here makes sense, especially considering that any respectable modern flashlight now uses 18650 lithium ion batteries with 300 to 500 charge cycles to 80% remaining capacity for power.

  3. Until those Duracells leak and destroy your 300 dollar communications receiver.

  4. I just recharge mine. I have a set of four AA rechargeable NiMH batteries I got with a charger in 2016 for 10 dollars that get used daily to power a small Grundig G6 shortwave AM/FM/AIR band radio that I leave on when I sleep and they still work.

  5.  @4seeableTV  The only sane option is rechargeable batteries. Minimal cost for up to 1200 or more uses depending on brand/type. With a USB battery charger and a folding solar panel your days of buying batteries are over, even off grid. I won`t be spending over 20 dollars per day to power a fan after hurricanes again. I now use a USB fan, folding solar panels, and USB power banks. My radios and flashlights will be using similar rechargeable options. Larger portable rechargeable power stations will be powering my freezers, small fridge, lights, WIFI, 12 volt cookers, and storing backup energy. A gas generator will be used for backup cloudy day charging and powering a small air conditioner to cool my camper trailer in the evening, since solar power for that is far too expensive to even think about on my SS income.

  6.  @parkerbohnn  I`d much rather walk across the room and place batteries in a charger than go to the store 25 minutes away to grossly overpay for alkaline batteries that will likely leak and destroy my 140 dollar shortwave receiver or my 100 dollar CCrane EP PRO. Rechargeable D batteries cost four times the price of alkaline batteries yet some brands can be recharged nearly 2000 times. My 500 dollar solar power station is a form of insurance that can ensure that I have power for my 5 cubic ft freezer if I need it every single day for ten years and still retain 80% of its charge capacity. So I paid a fee of 50 bucks per year for daily insurance that my food won`t thaw out no matter what happens to the power grid or my ability to pay my electric bill. The two solar panels it requires to charge in 3 to 4 hours can also be directly connected to 12 volt cookers to provide a guaranteed 25 years of service while retaining 80-90% of their rated wattage. So I have free cooking too for basically the rest of my life for one low insurance payment of 160 dollars plus the costs of the 30 dollar cookers and wiring...about 300 total.

  8.  @parkerbohnn  Trump is involved in the alkaline battery business? WOW! You leftists are far beyond deranged...

  9. Why waste money? Get rechargeable batteries.

  10. Heavy Duty batteries can destroy certain sensitive electronics due to high initial voltage. The only sane option is rechargeable batteries.
