Excalibur alkaline battery housing ?

On the alkaline battery housing it says it's not suitable for rechargable batteries. Can anyone tell me why this is?
 
That's easy.........

Sov/Excal runs on 8 alkaline batteries. Rechargeables (ni-cd or ni-mh) do not supply enough voltage when you only use 8 of them.
The rechargeable packs have 10 of these cells to provide the same voltage as 8 alkalines.

Thanks,
I just put a meter on both and durn if you ain't right. Who'da thunk it. I got 1.67 on an energizer alkaline and 1.38 on the energizer rechargeable. I guess cameras and Ipods aren't as voltage specific.
 
But the Sovereigns and the Excalibur's are some of the only ones that needs the 12 volts to operate correctly. On my Explorer they use 8 rechargeable to work as the 9.6 volts is what it works at.
Some will say they use the rechargeable in the Sovereigns, but wont last long as some will got 15 minutes while others will go a few hours.
