    Don’t do it. Alkalines are all shit now and will leak all over your electronics.

    Get some decent NiMH.

      NiMH is perfect for an application like this, where the power draw is high but you don’t need the batteries to retain charge while in standby for that long, so the high self-discharge rate is irrelevant.
