Pat,
I did use them for a time but just found the performance to be a bit less
stable so I went back to standard batteries and have been happier with them.
Under fairly heavy use, mostly with the synthesizer reading .brf and .txt
files, I get anywhere from a month and a half to 2 and a half months out of
a set. Now it's true that the firmware has been updated a couple of times
since I last used rechargables so they might work better these days. Lou
