So...if you like rechargeable batteries, buy rechargable C-cell batteries
and a recharger!  If you think it's a waste and will mostly run the Stacy
from an adapter or something, don't bother.

Some might argue that using ordinary batteries is even better than a
custom rechargable battery pack since you can use the 'fast' rechargers
advertised by some companies.  On the down side, you will have to
actually remove them in order to recharge.
