I recommend you to spend $50 on a good AA / AAA recharger instead. You will be able to charge and recondition all AA and AAA batteries in your home. A good charger will keep your batteries healthier and they will hold more power. In the long run you will be saving money.

Seconded.... I am trying to use recharchables for my stuff now, I still have some standard batteries on hold if I forget to charge the ones I use in the Wii remote... and I still use standard for my tv remote (only because I sellotaped them in and they haven't run out yet)

 

Never use recharchables for stuff like TV removes and clocks, basically anything that doesn't consume your battery power in 2 weeks.

The reason is that a TV remote will prolly consume your recharchable in 6 months, 10% by the remote itself and 90% by the battery's self discharge. The Alcaline batteries have a much lower self discharge rate and they will last in your TV remote for years.

The Lithium batteries tend to have big problems when you charge them before they completely wear off. Some of my lithium batteries went down to 25% power after I've put them in the charger at 75% power (this was a $75 genuine Sony battery).
