For me, this is the problem. When I started doing this in the 70s,

the reliability has not improved, with the added bonus of the

completely bricked without working batteries.
I just found that NiMH rechargables were too high maintenance.
I have dozens of sets of Eneloop AA cells in service about my
home/office even in things like standby flashlights, long gone are the
days of unreliable NiMH batteries.
Really? They don't work well at all in the northern hemi. From what
I've been reading, anyway. :-)
