Everyone should be buying rechargable batteries now. Why get batteries that will die and be useless?

because they are cheap? I have rechargeable batteries too, but it doesn't hurt (except the environment) to have some standard ones available.
Just for info: "Heavy Duty" batteries are often the least powerful batteries you can buy. "Heavy Duty" is really misleading in a way. For example the term Heavy Duty battery was used to refer to Zinc chloride batteries which had about 50% more capacity than traditional carbon zinc batteries. But that was 50 years ago! Calling zinc chloride batteries heavy duty became misleading once alkaline batteries with 300% more capacity than zinc chloride batteries became available.

you get 32 for $1, give me a break. Best is a 4 pack for $1, this is 8 4 Packs for $5.50, red for you!
are these good for remote controls? i bought several about an year ago, none of them worked.

Heavy Duty for applications like flashlights, remote controls, clocks, smoke alarms, and radios. Heavy Duty batteries will retain a large portion of their power, even when stored at normal household temperatures for as long as four years, but put these puppies in a digital camera and watch the juice drain.

How is that?
Heavy Duty batteries have about half the capacity of alkaline batteries.
And alkaline/heavy duty batteries are much preferable to rechargeables in things you use infrequently, such as emergency or car flashlights, remote controls that don't get used much, etc. And they're always nice to have on hand if your rechargeables run out.

Thanks all for the explanation of "heavy duty". I had no idea and was about to buy some for my mp3 player and camera. Not good for those at all. Good find though!
heavy duty batteries are so garbage. buy some eneloops and be done with it.
I've already bought lots of eneloop and duracell, in both AA and AAA.
Rechargeables are perhaps not the best choice for flashlights and clocks.
These will do fine for things like Commiecast's Comcraptic Remote also.

Excellent document. Thanks!
I like the Ultralast brand, usually on sale at places like Microcenter and Ink Stop, 40 for $10 in AA (alkaline). 25 cents per AA alkaline is my "good deal" threshold.
