I use rechargeable lithium batteries in my cameras, and other devices as well. I have two sets. I keep one set in the device and the other in the charger. I just swap them when they run low.
The rechargeables don't last forever but they reduce the number of batteries that need to be recycled or chucked in a landfill.

- lots including Kubota B's, L's, cat, etc.. over many years
Don't recycle them, don't send them to dumps, don't put them in trash, don't store them in indoors, don't use them (like those in your tools) if dropped on the floor, if your electric vehicle is in an accident a full battery remove and inspection is often required before insurance gets issued, tradesmen must remove them from their trucks when not in business use and on the job or insurance voided, etc...
Little bombs of energy sitting at the ready to quickly discharge their energy and start fires.
Kinda don't know what to do with them anymore.
A lithium-ion battery fire may be covered by your auto insurance depending on your policy type and the cause of the fire. However, some insurance policies have exclusions or limitations for lithium-ion battery fires, especially if they are caused by negligence, misuse, abuse, or wear and tear. Sep 5, 2023
More and more places everyday telling us they don't want them anymore including our local recycling depot and dump.
I for one don't know if covered or not covered lots of warnings and outs given to us everyday about liabilities etc...

Cardboard (or any paper product) can only be recycled a limited number of times...I've heard 4 or 5 tops before the fibers get so small they have little strength.
Never had much luck with rechargeables in cameras. They only seem to last for a half dozen or so shots, then they go flat. I'll use regular L-I batteries, and they last a long time.
When I received my Uniden BCD325P2 I was expecting to plug 3 AA batteries into the case. When I saw it only took 2 AA batteries I had serious reservations about how long a set of batteries would last before they needed to be replaced. I use the 325 primarily at air shows and got into the habit of buying Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA Batteries. They lasted longer but cost more and were disposable. Use them once and toss them out. I wondered about rechargable lithium AA’s but didn’t see anything on the market initially. But now I see there are some offerings. I purchased thru Amazon 4 AA batteries and a charger made by TENAVOLTS.COM. Here is a very short review relating to longevity only. I am not recommending anything, having not considered the numerous posts regarding the chemistry of lithium cells, safety concerns, cost, etc. I am only posting the results I got when using the TENAVOLTS AA Rechargable cells relating to how long they last. I have found they do last longer than regular alkaline disposable AA batteries. Compared to the Energizer Ultimate Lithium disposable batteries, I deem them close, maybe a bit less life. I have discounted the other types of rechargables such as nicads, etc. because it’s already been established they don’t last as long as a regular disposable battery. These are the only findings I am sharing. If my results are opposed to other findings, so be it. I suggest you disregard my findings.
