I gave up with rechargeable standard batteries ages ago. I have spent
far more on them than I ever would on disposables.

and they are always flat when you need them....alkalines are best....


It might be a charger thing. Going back mumble years the chargers
weren't "intelligent" and so you had to remove the cells once charged.

Cue "intelligent" chargers which (supposedly) cut off when a cell is
charged. But then (as you say) you go to your drawer for a recharged
cell ... and it's flat.

Finally you plug the cells into the charger and it insists one is faulty
(despite only being used 10 maybe 15 times).

meanwhile, buying the odd pack of own brand disposables ... less hassle,
less cost.

indeed..only good place for a rechargable is a mobile phone....

and an electric toothbrush
