I understand that 2000 mAH NiMH batteries will outlast Alkaline batteries. Is that true in all uses?
I am going to be replacing all the AAs in my son's baby toys and my electronics with NiMHs.
Before taking the plunge with the initial investment (batteries and probably buying the $59 C9000 to charge them), I am trying to do a simple theoretical cost analysis to justify it.
I just bought 22 Duracell AAs at Home Depot for $9.94, so if the performance between alkaline and NiMH is the same, I would have to charge 150 batteries to pay for the charger. Obviously, if the NiMH last longer, than I would break even quicker.
