I have used Eneloop rechargeable batteries in cameras and other devices. Love these. They are made in Japan by Panasonic and have been 100% excellent for maybe 10 years. Up to 2000 charge cycles, very consistent voltage, never leak and destroy a nice camera or other electronic device.
Choose wisely.

As do I.Great PSA!
My emergency services office just hosted a training session on dealing with these fires. The was fairly wide ranging but emphasized using the manufacturer's battery, storing them properly and what to do when they pop off.
The FD stated that a continuous stream of water is the best way to deal with an EV fire. When these things fail and go into a runaway reaction, they produce their own oxygen so they're a self-sustaining fire.
Obviously for the home use batteries if you can manage it safely, they say just get it out of the house into an area where nothing else can burn and if at all safely possible drop it into a bucket of water. I currently store all of mine in steel ammo boxes inside a steel cabinet.
