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.
