Or you could possibly incorporate smart technology that could determine
whether the batteries are rechargeable or not--more expense, though.

Problem is bruce, if you put in a charging circuit then you have to
get rid of the option of cheap replacement batteries. Accidentally
recharging batteries that aren't rechargable tends to result in leaky
or exploding batteries. I'd rather have the option of dropping in a
spare set of cheap batteries than be forced to either buy a second
rechargable or just have no option at all.
