I use rechargeable batteries and have not seen the problem yet. ( Now that you have
got me to say that, who knows?)
With rechargeable batteries you change them out more often than the alkaline
anyway, so your mom won't have any more of a problem if she were to use the
alkaline instead of the rechargable, and she wouldn't have to bother with the
recharging process. While the rechargeable will save money in the long run,
you can often find bricks of 20 or more, of the alkaline, at a low price.
The new NI-ZN rechargables might not have the problem -BUT- they operate
at a higher voltage than the alkaline (remember it will be times 4, in the JBL) and
could destroy the JBL. ( This may be one of the first "Green" products that aren't
all hype, who knows? But until I see word from Ectaco, or a reliable user, that it
is safe in a JBL, I wouldn't want to try it. )
Luck;
Ken
