I've been using low self discharge NiMH batteries for years. I find they are better than Alkaline for almost everything. They are fine in all my remotes. Last for months. It is only a couple of items that just don't work with any NiMH batteries. The smoke detector and a clock. It's not that they run dry quickly. The smoke detector fails within 24 hours (gives a battery low warning siren) and a clock that just doesn't work.
