I invested a few hundred dollars into Eneloops, but they kept disappearing. Turns out my kids were throwing them away, thinking they were disposable (cry).
I’ve since trained them and rebuilt my stockpile but that was painful, at what was then $2 a cell. (Now $3-4.)
Training for kids here is that batteries never go in the trash, since they all go to the same recycling place.
IKEAs rechargable batteries are great.
According to what I've heard, IKEA rechargeables are rebranded eneloops.
I have a bright label on each saying “Do not dispose”. Hopefully it’s enough to at least get someone’s attention to read or ask further before throwing them out.
