I feel cheated and betrayed. For years I've made small efforts to be responsible in purchasing rechargeable batteries. I wanted to reduce the number of batteries going to a landfill, I wanted to be responsible with money by not having to re-purchase batteries. I wanted to do the right thing. But I feel like the promises made and prices charged by battery manufacturers weren't genuinely intended to support the widescale adoption of rechargeable batteries. Its been a long process but for now I've finally given up. :-(
