Oh I hope nobody's doing that, rechargeables have been so good for so long. I'm just now retiring some that I bought in the 2007-2011 timeframe which have started to fail, but my 2015 purchases are still going strong with hundreds and hundreds of charge cycles on 'em. I haven't used alkalines since the 80s.
- jjeaff 3y agoI have not had great luck with rechargeables. They have a lower voltage than regular AA, so I find that most sensitive electronics just start out thinking the battery is already low and then stop running before the battery is fully discharged. My Z-wave keypad lock is one of those. AA batteries last about 2 months, rechargeables start giving a low battery warning after a week and hardly last 2-4.
- eternityforest 3y agoHave you tried lithium rechargeables with the built in converters?
- myself248 3y agoI return garbage products like that. Not supporting rechargeables in 1980 was sort of forgivable, but they've had 40 years to get their act together.
