costco sells these AA+AAA coast lithium ion batteries that are 1.5v and seem to have high capacity and long charge time.

Seems better than either duracell disposables or the nimh rechargables that I use.

I've got the duracells from Costco. I've go to try these. Thanks for the tip.

Oddly enough I have a whole bunch of the lithium-ion ones with a USB-C connector in the side. Keeping a specific charger around for batteries sucks but I have a lot of Anker chargers so this works quite well.

		These batteries have usb-c charging with a charging LED and come with a usb-a to 4x USB-C cable. Pretty convenient. In comparison, the duracell batteries have a pretty good lifetime, but just go dead. They also don't work in the cold. the nimh batteries are rechargable and somewhat convenient, but have a short lifetime. This seems to be because they are 1.2v and the devices think they're low on power more easily, plus their self-discharge is lots faster than other batteries.
