The myth of rechargeables saving you money

[mikebw]

I became quite accustomed to the rechargeable battery process as a child, having lots of toys that needed them. Of course it was not difficult for even a child to see that the NiCad' s of the day were a far cry from the power of an Alkaline battery, so we eventually stopped using the rechargeables.

Today I suspect they are much better though, and until now I haven't had much cause to use rechargeables again, but now that I have the Wii and all the various remotes I am beginning to consider them once again.
