Hmm, that's interesting, but what do they cost? In a quick look on amazon, if I skipped past all the "fake batteries" ones, it looks like Panasonic sells them $20 for 2, so $40 for 4. It's $10-$15 for 4 Nimh AA's...
I agree it's still less to pay $40 for replacing rechargeables than it would be to pay $70 like I was looking at for a 4 cell Dinotte replacement though...
