I actually like the AAs vs the rechargable setup.
They last many flights, and you can just pop in new ones without the recharge times.

I've heard the rechargeables don't give you as much range since they have less voltage. I just use Alkaline AA's and one set lasts all year.
I keep a spare set with my kit and the controller will beep at you when they need to be replaced.

TX batteries usually are "low rate discharge" so those can be charged a loooooooong time with no damage. I've been using a 2600 mAh in my 9XR TX and sometimes it has been more than 3 months inside TX- no usage. When checked it to fly, just 0.5 v down since storage. More than 18 months with that.
