Do you use rechargeable or disposable batteries?

Tweet

These days, everything runs on batteries it seems. That's ok, but batteries can get costly, and they can be an environmental issue too. So...the tough question I think becomes: "Should I use rechargeable or disposable batteries? And, why?" What about you? What kind do you use in your digital camera, your flashlights, your MP3, tape or CD player, your radio or 'boombox', etc., etc. Obviously, some items like cell phones come with rechargeables, so there's little choice, but many other items leave it up to the consumer. I'll post my choice and explanation in a later response.
