Much easier to plug in a battery versus shelling out more money to buy new ones.

I used to buy rechargeable batteries for my first digital camera years ago & hated them. I now buy excellent disposable batteries from The Dollar Tree. They work better than the $6-8 disposable ones I used to buy years ago.

I used to use rechargables religiously. I have tried all different brands, though, and I'm pretty much fed up with them. Lately, no matter what I do, most brands only do well for about a month and then they lose their charge even just sitting in my battery bin (I try not to store them in toys). Either way, I gave up and switched back to disposables. I always bring them to the recycling center to get rid of them though, so I don't feel too bad about it either way.

I have rechargeable battries that I use when they are charged up but if not then I will go out and get some. Sometimes I use the chargeable ones for kids toys too. So usually they are dead by time I get to them. What I need to do is pick up a extra set.

I've used both.

I use rechargeable. I get the Energizer brand and they work great. I don't think I've ever thrown away one that went bad, I'm still using the first ones I ever bought. I almost prefer non-rechargeable toys because if the batteries run down in a non RC toy, then you just pop the old ones out and pop some fresh ones in rather than having to wait for the toy to recharge.

I use disposables. I find it easier to just trash the old ones and put in new ones when needed.

I just buy disposable....i should get the rechargables though since it is better for the environment

we use both. I buy a toy because of the design, not because of the battery type used.

Right now we don't have any toys that take batteries. I'm sure I'll end up getting one that has a nice design or feature, and will probably end up getting rechargeable batteries.
