We use rechargeable batteries in most of the items around our house requiring batteries; flashlights, Logitec all in one TV remotes, Xbox controllers, etc. with zero problems. Our experience is that the rechargeable batteries usually last as long or close to as long as standard batteries, on just one charge. What I would humbly but strongly suggest for anyone buying regular batteries is to get a battery checker. I have been shocked that some devices will indicate low battery, and the battery checker will show almost 50% left on the indicator. I have a bag of "used good" batteries that we use in lower consumption devices (LED light strings, etc.), and it has significantly reduce our overall battery consumption. Our first set of AA rechargeable batteries have been cycled over 20 times and are still work great. Of course, if the device is going to be strored for a while without use (Christmas, Halloween items), we always take the batteries out regardless of type.
