I use rechargeable batteries where the consumption will empty it in less than a week.
Where the consumption empties the batteries in more than 6 months I use only regular batteries.
Strange, I can't find in my memory any object that empties his batteries in more than a week and less than 6 months.
I have to confess than I never thought about that more than that. I metered the consumption to recharge the rechargeable batteries and it was less than 0.01€, ie less than 0.1kWh for 4xAA 2700mAh.
