Actually alkaline voltage is only a claimed 1.5v. Most of the time they run down to
1.2v or so very quick. If someone needs batteeries/chargers you MUST go to
www.batteryspace.com It is the place for NIMH's and chargers. I personally
recommend Nimh's over alkaline 10 to 1.

The idea is quite sound as long as you don't make the mistake of puting 5
alkalines in the holder one day to keep going, the idea of using five cells
is to get a full six volts. 5 NiMh cells -at- 1.2 volts each as apposed to 4
alkalines -at- 1.5 volts each. Thus 5 Alkalines would be 7.5 volts and I don't
know if it would like it.
