just buy a bulk pack of alkalines from dick smith or jaycar....Hi guys.
Is it worth getting rechargeable batteries for remote controls? I'm
thinking alkalines might be more economical.
Thanx 4 looking.
**Depends on the remote. Some two cell remotes may not work with NiCadsHi guys.

I believe that if you continously trickle charge at C/20 you can keep them fully charged withoutAll rechargeable cell types suffer from a self discharge rate way more than
non rechargeables - Ni-Cds can self discharge in a few months, NiMHs take
a bit longer. This makes them *useless* for occasionally used items like
that torch you keep in the drawer.

fully charged without over charging.

So you need a dedicated charger that holds the cells for the torch on
trickle charge 24/7 while the torch has no cells in it.
Nope, the torch has cells in it.
We've never had to to that, don't expect to have to either. We're reasonably calm and stable peopleThen, when the all the lights fail one night , you have to find the torch in
the dark, remove the cells from the charger in the dark, and feed them into
the torch by feel.
Maybe YOU can do all that.
Likely the missus or one of the kids cannot.
Geez, settle down. It works for me 100%, without any of the hysteria too.Pure idiocy.

Care to take a stab? Be warned though, it'll involve lots of analytical thought processes but little"sam"

Surprise me.

Believe it or not, there is a solution that contains no contradictions.

You must be new around here, stranger...Fuck off - you pathetic IMBECILE.

The best I ever had, were the original alkalines I had in my main TV
set (used every day). I purchased the set in 1984. I swapped the
batteries out (they still allowed the remote to work) in 1996, when I
gave the set to my mum. The cell Volts had fallen to around 1.1 Volts,
but, since there were 4 cells in the remote, it still worked just fine.
Some kind of record, for alkalines?

Not that new
I got less than one year out of a set of 4 AAOn 12 May 2006 02:14:48 -0700, trevor@rageaudio.com.au wrote:

Hi Trevor,
12 years - that was an excellent set of alkalines. I have also get
more than 6 years from alkalines in my remotes and I suspect that you
can get even more than this, on average. I guess I was estimating a
bit on the conservative side because some people might buy low cost
alkaline's which certainly don't have the performance of the major
recognised heavy duty brands.
