Keep in mind that NiCd and NiMH cells have a lower voltage than
alkaline cells even when they are fully charged, so you start out at
a disadvantage. They will likely need to be recharged far more often
than alkalines would need to be replaced -- and there is a limit to
the number of times they can be recharged.

Rechargeables start at a lower voltage but hold it longer.
