Default Alkalines versus NiMH

Replace at 2/3 sounds useful. You wouldn't want to be out on

What do you do with the 1/3 charged batteries? Hope you
don't leave them out on in the woods, or desert or
something.



No, not at all. They get pressed into other service requiring
less instantaneous demand, until they're dead. Some alkalines can be
recharged to 75% of new capacity. Those that can't are disposed of
at recycling centers.

For the most part, I use NiMH cells in wireless devices. Replace
at 2/3's charge service, and recharge.
