I use them on the X's. The Energizer charger fits in the case along with two additional pair of batteries for mid flight battery changes. They work ok but seem to not last as long as non-rechargeables

I use Eneloop batteries with my A20. They usually last at least 40-50 hours of flying. Well worth the investment. Costco has a big pack & charger for about $20

I have also had this exact same problem several times with the more expensive Lithium batteries in my A20's. The regular energizer batteries last a full month pretty easy and a 20 pack at Target is around $10

I used to use rechargeables in my A10s. Worked great, got about 30 hours from them. The only issue I saw was that the charge level indicator wasn't accurate. Basically showed green until right before they died.
