I understand why judahis wants such a thing. Judahis is attempting to save dolalrs in the long term by being able to replace the battery as needed at a lower cost. The troubble that judahis is going to run into is that the battery technology that he/she is referring to, while its the cheapest, its also the most primitive and shortest lasting of all of the battery technologies available, but contrary to what has been said before their are rechargeable versions.
The batteries that judahis is referring to is called NicCadium and has the problem that the technology is not capable of storing much energy. This is why NicHydride and NimH were invented. The best application for the NicCadium batteries are in items around your home that generaly do not take a lot of energy to run such as a wrist watch, you should see the power requirements for a standard wrist watch it will make your mouth fall out, its real low. Hydrides die too quickly when they are used in higher drain items such as computers, which is why Nimh batteries were invented to begin with.
Nimh batteries are used in electronic readers and have the advantage that they last a lot longer then the Hydride batteries do, although the drawback is that they often times can not be replaced. So my advice is to understand the trade off and bit the bullet and take the Nimh batteries they are worth the trade off.
