This weekend, since we needed batteries for our flashlight and crib mobile, we decided to get a larger recharger and D batteries. We ended up going to Radio Shack and surprisingly, everything there was cheaper than Target. The sales clerk schooled us on rechargeable batteries - there are 2 kinds: the nickel-metal hydride as you mentioned and one other one that doesn't hold a strong charge as long as the nickel-metal hydride (I think it's nickel-cadium). And he said never to recharge Alkaline batteries because there's a risk/chance that those batteries would explode/catch fire. I was bummed to learn that because I was hoping we'd be able to reuse the existing batteries we already had...however, glad to know that those would be the last batteries we would throw away for a long, long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061692231661912547.post-89957992171032540452009-01-30T18:34:00.000-08:002009-01-30T18:34:00.000-08:00another good place for rechargeable batteries is a...another good place for rechargeable batteries is amazon.com. there is shipping but if you have at least $25.00 they will waive the shipping.<BR/><BR/>HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934755706093024494noreply@blogger.com
