I have been using non-rechargeable AAA batteries for my keyboard, wall clocks, remotes etc. But now a days the life of those batteries is hardly a month (used Panasonic, nippo, eveready non alkaline ones), so I was just intrigued that have the company decreased the life of the cell to maintain the price of it or its just a waste to use them and i should be more inclined to use alkaline batteries. One thing i did observe is that alkaline batteries tend to leak once they are dying. So what are your experience with those different kind of batteries available and which one would you recommend.
