The good quality D size NiMH cells tempt me
to purchase. But, I don't use that much
equipment that has D cells. And, so far,
alkalines do the job.

My marine GPS uses AA NiMH cells and I find that the self-discharge rate
on them is quite high - high enough that I need to charge the batteries
the night before each use.

Everything should be using Li Ion. I have a head torch which runs for 24 HOURS at a decent brightness (about the same as one car dipped beam) on two cells. They're jumbo AA cells, a bit fatter and a bit longer. It also runs for 5 hours on full beam.
