Many people steer away from rechargeable batteries because they cost more per pack. True, the average 4-pack of AA rechargeable batteries costs about twice as much as a 4-pack of AA alkaline disposable batteries. But wait – that means the “break even point” is two packs. So, each additional battery charge is like getting free batteries. In other words, after recharging your batteries twice, they’ve paid for themselves. When you consider rechargeable batteries can be used over 100 times, how can you afford NOT to use rechargeable batteries?
