Found this source of cheap rechargable batteries - 24 AA 2300 mAh high capacity NiMH for under $30 shipped. Also got 12 AAA for under $15.

Not sure how long this special will last.
Read this review of them on a forum:
"All 24 Tynergy cells have now been subjected to between 2 and 4 cycles of charge/discharge either in my Maha chargers or the LaCrosse. All cells measure better than 2040maH at 500ma (approx 0.25C) in the LaCrosse, which is good. Most cells measure around 2200 maH, which is excellent, as good as my 2300maH Energizers. Three cells required 4 cycles to get close to their full capability, and all required at least 2 cycles.
I measured the internal impedance at about 0.02 ohms (20milliohms) (plus/minus 0.01 ohms) with an AC milliohm-meter. This is a factor of 10 lower than a two year-old half-dead Powerex 2000maH which I used as a 'sanity check' to check my milliohm-meter was still working The value I measured is in line with the data sheet linked from my message above, and indicates that the cells should be able to handle very heavy peak loads.
Note: the data sheet shows these cells as losing 35% of their charge per month at room temperature. That is typical for nimh, and why you will find the crisper drawer in my refrigerator full of assorted Li-Ion and nimh cells, ready to grab and immediately put into service at a moment's notice "
