Noticed their review states that they had better runtime on NiMH.
Make sense to some degree. *Medium-drain devices tend to be very
inefficient at using alkaline capacity. *Alkalines tend to last longer
than NiMH when the drain is really low, like with a low-power LED.

I was told that NiMH cells had a higher self-discharge rate and that
alkaline cells were better if you were not constantly charging them.
