I have tried rechargeable batteries for different things and ended up not being on top of where the chargers were kept, especially when my kids were little. People would forget to charge them or they'd get lost. And they are a pretty expensive investment IF you are not going to use them properly.

This would make a lot of sense now that we use flashlights on a regular basis. I bought some Eco-i-lites flashlights at Costco that are also nightlights and automatically come on when we lose power. They have been very handy so far.
