In my humble opinion that's not a very environmentally friendly attitude.
Rechargeable batteries, in whatever form they may take are here to stay and
just like filament light bulbs they will eventually be obsolete, so you will
inevitably be forced to use rechargeables.
Plus of course the cost of recharging a few sets of batteries is far less
than buying brand new ones, even if you do buy them in bulk. So it's really
a false economy.
Darren.

Phil,
Well that's a no brainer, have you ever found a rechargable battery
that last's a quarter of the time a duracell battery lasts? and gives
some warning that its about to expire, I haven't! I can't be bothered
changing batteries all the time, so I use Duracell. I buy them in bulk
from Costco, and so the price is much more reasonable.
Dave
Thanks Dave, no surprise as you say but helpful nonetheless. What would
be interesting would be a comparison of performance of the likes of
duracell vs rechargeable..

Duracell, out performed all others, no surprise there, and Morison's own
were the best buy. Duracell worked out at 51 pence per hour and
Morrison's
29 pence per hour. Duracell lasted twice as long as the Morison's
batteries, so how many batteries do you want to carry around with you?

Sounds interesting, just for interest what was their findings re
batteries?
Is the show repeated at all do you know?

Hi Graham,
Take your pick, possibly the last two items! [smile]
20.00 THE GADGET SHOW. Consumer technology show. Jason Bradbury and Suzi
Perry
put rugged watches and multimedia players through their paces,
while
Jon Bentley visits some of Britain's leading technology
companies to
have a sniff around their research and development facilities.
And,
with so many Christmas presents depending on them, which
batteries
are best value for money? (Last in series) (Oracle)
Kind regards,
Gerry.
