Why not three weeks, like I calculated in yesterday's post, or "weeks," like Wikipedia says?

If you only use that set of AA NiMH batteries for the sole use in a JBL, then yes, no need to consider further. But if you rotate a set of such batteries in other devices, then it's not just a JBL issue. And you probably will, at least eventually, because in the year 2015, you'll still have perfectly fine NiMH batteries with 400 charge cycles left, but likely have given up your JBL.

No rechargeable, of any type that I'm aware of, can compare to the shelf life of a non-rechargeables.
