No, no, no! Rechargeable batteries have to be charged and discharged
several times before they come into their own. The first couple of charges,
even with the IC3 cells, will give you rather meager results, but all of a
sudden things will improve amazingly. No rechargeable battery comes into
the world capable of holding a full charge right out of the box.

When I used a 15 minute charger, my batteries only lasted about 12 hours. That is why I stopped using it.

I put heavy use on my book port daily, and I easily get close to 60 hours from each charge using the IC3's.

The issue is, you have to change rechargeables more frequently.

Rechargeables are exactly the same size and shape as non-rechargeables. If they are freshly chazrged, there is little difference in current between them and non-rechargeables. I don't see why it should cause any sort of a problem.
