Dunno why it's getting through batteries, butb the reason you can't
use re-chargables is probably that they are usually only 1.2v whereas

Or that re-chargables self discharge too quickly?


never heard of Eneloop ?

and you can now get 1.5volt Rechargeable Alkaline, but not tried them as
yet.

The prices look very good. However, unless I've missed it, there's no
sign of any capacity ratings (which seems strange).
