Well I will give you that. We use both energizer and duracell rechargables in our tv remotes, mps players etc and don't have nearly the problem we have had with rechargeable "packs" like on some radios and handhelds. My motorola radios wouldn't take double a's, they had a pack (kinda like a cell phone battery) on the back of them. I have had 4 of the silver black and decker batteris for my cordless drill go out over seven years of moderate use, which isn't bad. One thing I have noticed is that if I leave them in the charger all the time not just put them on when they are drained or low then I lose alot of rechargables no matter what kind they are.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
