My experience is that rechargables can recycle max of 100 times.. =
2yrs or so..
you can be completely compulsive, labelling purchase date on each
battery, marking down discharge time on a spread sheet for each cell
etc..
- or else
price 100 AA's at a huge discount store, vs 6 rechargeables & all the
recharging equipment..

- Then add in the " Hassle Factor"

and there's your answer...

But...but...the landfills!

Seriously now, I would think that tossing out 100 AA's would be more hassle
than having two sets that you rotate through.

NiMhs can be charged FAR more many times than that!
Try hundreds and hundreds of times.

NiMhs will save A TON of money for the user.
