Except in applications that need a long shelf life. The new
"EnergyOn" type NiMH cells are better, but alkaline still rules if
you want more than 6 month shelf life.

Well, a typical 6V lantern battery is rated for 11-13 Ah. Each
of the four 1.5 V cells has that capacity.

That's 11,000 to 13,000 mAh. Or about the equivalent of 5 or 6
ultra-high-capacity NiMH cells.

Or about 11 or 12 standard capacity NiMH or alkaline cells.
