Hi,

What are the most economical batteries to use in devices that are
rarely used, such as a label maker (e.g. 15 labels a year). I've
gathered over the years that in items like flashlights it pays to use
better brands, but what about the situation above? Are rechargables a
good idea for that?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

I would suggest not leaving batteries in them. Keep a supply of
alkaline batteries of the sizes you need and then just put them in the
devices when they are being used. The slight inconvenience will be
small compared to the cost of dead batteries and the possible damage
due to leakage.
