you could use rechargble AAAs

I don't need to, I can use the rechargeable C cells?

OK for me they'd have seemed a bit pricey for the use they are put to.
We have over a dozen DMMs we stopped using partly because they used 6 X C cells.
C cells are about 4x the price of AA/AAA.

The chargers are more expensive, and you may only have the AA/AAA type.
Maplin sell battery converters than hold AA cells and are the size of C
(or D) cells. (For that matter, judging from the mAh rating C and D
rechargeables may be AA batteries in oversized cases. AA batteries can
be up to 2400 mAh.)
