+1 on eneloops. The only issue is for some items that expect a constant 1.5V, e.g. simple motor driven devices, you may not get much run time per charge since the NiMH droop relatively quickly to IIRC 1.3V even though the cells hold steady at 1.3 V for a long time. Example, blood pressure monitor electric motor won't operate at <1.4 V. Other devices with good regulation circuits, e.g. better LED flashlights, compensate and are happy with NiMH.
