Alkaline battery opinions wanted [RE-wrenches]

Hi Bob,

That was going to be my question.

I have always been under the impression that without a truly  
destroyed cell, they will run forever, its the electrolyte that wears  
out.
So yes there is MX, but a different kind.

In regards to the efficiency, yes NiFe are less efficient, but if  
they last forever, how does that factor in?
And since they don't have a cold de-rating factor, then you don't  
have to oversize for winter time.
Also they are not damaged by hard usage, or

There are lots of reasons to use the NiFe, and I for one would if I  
could get good ones.
