For our battery powered toys we prefer to use rechargeable batteries, but somehow they keep disappearing. Where do they keep going?
So, we also keep a pack of both AA and AAA batteries on hand...just in case.

Both have their advantages. Rechargeable batteries are nice as if the batteries dye they are easy to replace, so you don't need to wait to recharge the toy before continuing to use it. A toy that is rechargeable is also nice as it means you don't need batteries, however if you run out of power you have to wait for it to charge before using it again.

I solved that by having two/three of the same rechargeable toys I like to use. An expensive way to solving a simple issue. But it means I can use two at once if need and have the third in reserve. Great party trick.

We of course have both. Rechar are good since don't have to buy new ones. However they can only be charged so many times.
Batteries ones are good and if hold enough batteries for it's purposed pretty strong. We buy the value paks with long shelf life now , so don't mind. Toys nowdays are so much better than 10 yrs ago. Technology, a good thing.

I hadn't actually considered the limited number of charges a device can usually take. I've ran into issues with my cell phones not recharging properly after having them for about 2 years, though I don't actually know how many times a device can usually be recharged while still working properly and properly holding a charge. I guess battery operated ones sometimes dye too, so either way there's still a risk that they won't work as long as you'd like them too.

That would be more costly than I can afford.

Not really, I selected either because the vibes I have usually come with normal batteries, once they are dead and used up (quite pleasureably I will add) I switch to my rechargeables.

Lately the stuff I get is already 100% rechargeable.

Been a while since i voted on this but I believe i voted for standard batteries. I do have a question tho as far as standard batteries go. I've bought my wife several vibrators in the past and when the person rings them up at the counter they say to use off brand batteries. My question is why use those and not the good name brand batteries or does it really matter?

In my casual observations with the off brand [you know the ones that usually come with the vibe/bullet/rabbit and other toys] batteries, it seems as though they last longer then the more easily found Duracell, Energizers and other name brands. Who really knows though .

I have used both, but now use mainly standard. It seemed to me that the rechargeables didn't have as much power.
Oh, and I really like to have rechargeable toys around.

Don't take this seriously but, I have a conspiracy theory about it if you are interested... It involves Ancient aliens, the U.S. Government, Mark Hammil, Yakuza and Asian battery suppliers.

A lot of name brand batteries really only come in two groupings.
Long lasting/low output: These are great for fire alarms, torches, clocks etc but cannot power a vibrator as well as you want as they cannot output at a level needed.
The second type are...
High output/fast discharge: These are for cameras and things that need a burst of power not a sustained release.
The off brand vibrator batteries type are called medium output/controlled discharge: They hold a steady output over a longer period but are no good for things that draw a lot of power or sit idle for years on end like a remote control.

I have USB rechargeable lithium AA & AAA batteries I use for the toys that are rechargeable out of the box; however, one pair of the AAA ones aren't working currently so need to troubleshoot. Considering how few charges with them, likely a mechanical issue with how the connectors for the top work... hopefully can fix, and also hopefully only one of them worst case. Time to get the multimeter out.
