Buy rechargeables instead.

Try recharging my torch up a mountain!!!

Surely it's the same procedure taking fully-recharged rechargeable batteries up a mountain as taking non-rechargeable batteries? Not being a rugged mountaineer myself, maybe I'm missing something here?

I do use rechargeables, but sometimes thay are not the money-saving option. With 2 small children, we have dozens of toys that need a couple of AA batteries to play a tune and flash some lights on a plethera of "interactive" toys. 1 set of batteries will last the life of the toy

One set of rechargeables will last the life of several toys, and you won't be creating nearly as much of a pollution legacy for your children - it's a no-brainer.

I think what the other person was getting at is that rechargeable batteries are all very well and good if you've taken them straight out of the recharger, but if you go several days/weeks/months into areas that don't have a plug point available rechargeables are not the best choice.

In addition to the above, I find the following better to use normal than chargeables:

1) When using the battery in a device that requires low power, but long life span such as a remote control or a clock. No point spending several times the cost for a rechargeable, when a normal battery will last a couple of years or more and won't lose charge.

2) When you need a slightly higher voltage that will give you a slight edge, e.g. if you do outdoor lazer tagging (sort of like laser quest outdoors). Normal high powered duracell batteries are better than rechargeables. Costly though!

Slightly O/T but picked up a small bag in Sainsburys the other day for recycling batteries, a bit like Tesco's print cartridge bags, where you send them off in the post.

You don't get any nectar points or anything, but I know a lot of people are tempted to throw used batteries in the bin rather than recycle. With these bags it's easy to recycle, just keep popping them in the bag until you go to the PO

I found the bag on CS Desk, BTW...
