use rechargeables.


Only viable if you have a charger that takes three cells (or charges one-at-a-time).
Many chargers only charge pairs. Usually (squint at the fine print)
'1.5V' means it'll work on onesies, twosies, threesies, foursies.
"2.8V' on my Energizer charger means it only works on two or four.


I assumed we'd all be able to charge 3 cells. Maybe not so.
