For any device that consumes a lot of power -‘eats batteries’ – NiMH rechargeable batteries are ideal. Just use your “high” power NiMH batteries in place of your alkaline batteries. Some confusion is caused by the 1.2V rating of NiMH batteries compared with the 1.5V rating of alkaline batteries. In fact alkaline batteries only supply 1.5V during the early stages of their discharge and this drops to below 1.2V for most of their life. NiMH batteries actually sustain a higher voltage than alkalines during the bulk of their discharge.
