177/365 Do You Recharge?

We go through a lot of batteries in the Audrey household. I mean a LOT. Most of that has to do with teenagers and their gadgets, but some of it comes from old digital cameras and such.

You aren’t supposed to throw the old ones in the trash here, so we keep them in a huge jar marked “Dead Bats”. I’ll tell you the story on that some other time. It didn’t take long for the jar to over flow, and have to be taken into the recycling center. It also costs way too much to be going through so many!

So, now we get rechargeable. The only problem is the arguments over when a rechargeable isn’t good anymore.

Do you use rechargeable? Do you use many batteries? What uses them up the most?
