I don't even see cost an issue here. If you look at grocery store ads,

alkalines are almost always on sale. I try not to pay more than 20 cents
each for AAs. For example, right now the Pathmark has Rayovac AA size 12 for
$1.99. Sorry, if you live in the UK.

Well i would definatley use alkaline batteries.In the long run you will
save money.Being that alkalines last longer you would have to buy more
heavy duty batteries than alkalines to do the job.

 

Well thank you all for the input on this.I have seen the difference on
the holidays and definatley will use alklaines from now on.

 

Expensive, and they are intended specifically for high-current
applications using switchmode power supplies (digital cameras mostly).
The less current your product draws, the less advantage in going to Li.
