Hi Paul,

These levels are all fine. You could get more power out on internal 
batteries if you used Lithium AAs (1.5 V), but of course that's a lot 
more expensive than using rechargeables.

Makes me wonder how long it will be before there's a high-endurance, 
reasonably-priced 1.5-V rechargeable AA to replace under-performing 
"rechargeable alkalines." That's got to be the holy grail of the 
battery industry.
