Rechargeables (well, NiCd and NiMH ones) are rather wasted on low-drain applications like doorbells, remote-controls, clocks etc: they tend to have significant self-discharge, and by the time you notice they've gone flat they're often so chemically-traumatised that they won't take a proper charge again.
