Ran across these while searching for something. I had to order a pair for myself.
So far they are working great! So I was wondering which you would prefer.
Normal Batteries? Or USB Rechargeable Batteries?

    It depends on the device. I've always felt that rechargeable batteries didn't as long as regular batteries. If it's an mp3 rechargeable batteries would be ok for me, for a flash light I would prefer regular batteries.

    I have been using High Capacity NiMH (Nickle Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries in my cameras, flashes, remotes, portables, game controllers etc. etc. for more than a decade and I usually get anywhere from 50-150 cycles or more (charges) on each battery. I use quality name brand batteries and chargers and these excellent rechargeable batteries have literally saved me thousands of dollars in battery costs over the past 12+ years.

    I believe the highest capacity NiMH available right now is a 2700mAh or 2800mAh which compares quite well to a good alkaline but they can last for hundreds of charges when used properly.

    I don't own one, but USB NiMH chargers are available but I have no clue on how good those USB chargers are.

    Cheers

    I think I will do a flashlight test today using the two AA Batteries. By leaving the flash light on and seeing how long it will stay on. So far they are working like a charm in my wireless mouse and TV/Game Controllers.

      It Appears that they were a good purchase. Have had them in a flashlight with it on for 4 hours already and it is still on. I would recommend these to anyone who is trying to save some money.
