i used to avoid rechargeables because of this as well, thinking they wouldn't be able to power high drain stuff as long, but that's before i learned more about it
yes, they're 1.2v because of different chemistry, but it's actually not as big a difference as you'd think, because the discharge curves are also very different. 1.5v alkaline's are only 1.5v when they're brand new, and they average more like 1.2v, while a nihm rechargeable is basically 1.2v until they're dead. this can mess with battery level indicators in some devices
