In this DAB radio situation, would so called *Hybrids* be of any extra
advantage, considering they are practically twice the price of Argos?

As others say, hybrids would be of doubtful value unless the radio is
left unused for a week or more.

Lidl do AAA 4 pack for £2.49 [£2.99?] when in stock. I've used their
AA cells and they've been fine.

I suspect a long time. They are inherently more complex than analogue
radios.
