I'm wanting to switch from disposable batteries to rechargeable batteries. However, there are several types of AA batteries, and I was having trouble finding a lot of information about what some really good batteries would be for an original Gameboy.
What batteries do you use in your DMG? Are there any advantages to disposable AA batteries over rechargeable AA batteries?

this is either good trolling......... or im actually going to go outside and kill myself
Whoa, just put any AAs in there. There is voltage regulator inside which takes care of the rest.

These are best! If you use these with DMG-01 and compose probably 2 hours per week, it can live probably 4 months! 
I kinda blew up the original title and question because I got embarrassed by the initial response. I was missing something, because I don't know much about electronics. I basically just went to the Wikipedia page for AA batteries and was going off of that. I was also finding posts on other sites from people saying the 1.2V batteries wouldn't work at all, so I thought it was a bigger problem than it actually was. Then talking to a friend about the discrepancy they mentioned going over or under was bad for electronics, so I was just getting frustrated since I didn't know what a voltage regulator was.
The good is, I now feel comfortable getting some rechargeable ZR6 batteries.

I don't think it was an unreasonable question - eneloop rechargables are supposed to be good:
they come pre-charged, and are meant to keep their charge for much longer - 'usbcell' rechargables also seem handy 'cause you can stick them straight into a USB port to charge!
I have a couple of those old Mad Catz battery clip things if anyone wants them - not sure how much juice would be left in them, or how you're supposed to know when they're fully charged?
I'll edit the title back, and do a rewrite of the body then - leaving out the voltage regulator stuff. I'll just make the whole thing more general.

I've had fantastic luck with eneloops for a long time now. You can get a starter pack at Costco with 8 or 12 AAs and a few AAAs and a charger.
i use energizer recharables but usually end up stealing them to run my two year olds little keyboard since two year olds aren't good at shutting things off
I don't think it was an unreasonable question - eneloop rechargables are supposed to be good:
i use these. they have saved me a shit ton of money.
