Thanks for this thread. I have a bag of rechargeable batteries that will still hold a short charge but not long enough for the purpose I use them for. What do I do with them?
Also, thanks Melly for the info about the soapnuts.

Our initial pack is still doing pretty well over a year later. They don't keep going as long as they did at first, and definately not as long as a nonrechargeable. But they still recharge and hold the charge for lengthy periods (misplaced one and found it months later in a backpack, still ready to go). We are getting ready to purchase a second pack of these, not to replace the ones we have, but for a backup for when they are needed. We'll keep using what we have now, even once they'll only work an hour or two (they are still averaging 6 for now), for the times when that is sufficient. We would have gone through probably at least 500 regular batteries in this time period. The rechargeables have been a huge savings, and we've been extremely satisfied with their functioning. I had tried other kinds of rechargeables, before we found the Tynergy, and were nowhere near as satisfied. Different problems for different kinds, but basically they just didn't really work for us. Tynergy has. And, no, I'm not a salesperson, have no connection with the company other than as a consumer of the product. Sara On 9/10/2011 9:09 PM, Jonathan B.
