I think the only reason to use rechargeable batteries though is if you run the card reader or bar-code reader a lot, or have a 41CL. On alkalines, I used to get two years of battery life with regular use, and it seems to have gone down to about six months after I got the double extended memory module. I can go long periods without having to think about recharging. My annunciator comes on at 1.2V, which would mean it would be on even for fully charged NiCads.

I find that I am running my rebuilt card reader and the wand a lot right now, but that should be tapering off as I have most programs documented now. I probably was overzealous buying the rechargeables. I've been checking state of charge with voltmeters, I was just thinking that being able to do that on the calculator itself would be useful.
