Rechargeable Batteries.

I use to have and use the eneloops but got away from them for a while.

I just got a new set of AA and AAA’s.

One of the things I like about them is that like Energizer Lithium batteries (which are also expensive), you can leave them in things you don’t use often and they won’t deteriorate and leak.

Plus I really hate throwing batteries- both regular and lithium- in the trash. I haven’t found another option for recycling them.

If you have a Batteries Plus near you, you can recycle up to 2 lbs of batteries and/or light bulbs for free. Min e locally said that if I had more than 2 lbs, I should split them into different bags. Walk in to get rid of walk-out and walk back in; they will count them as separate visits.

Didn’t know that. Thank you.

Modern smart electronics are mostly fine with Eneloops. Some older cell cams will shut down early due to rechargeable lower working voltage. But most new ones let you designate battery type or automatically detect it for you. Virtually all other electronics it's not an issue at all. Eneloops fully charged are about 1.4 volts. Like alkaline, this drops under load.
 
We started using eneloops many years ago and haven’t looked back. I tried a batch of Amazon basics a few years back, but wasn’t impressed compared to the eneloops. They didn’t hold their charge as long when not in use, died quicker when they were in use, and on a couple of them just quit working.
