No, alkaline batteries are "primary" cells*, and cannot be recharged. NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) are "secondary" cells*, and can be recharged several hundred times. If you have a camera that takes available NiMH cells, they not only save money in the long run, but they perform much better in cameras than alkalines, which have less than 1/2 the life (and then you throw them away) of a NiMH (which you can re-use). I use Sanyo Eneloops, and am totally satisfied with them. They do not hold as much energy as the "high energy" cells, but they don't discharge in the camera in a month, either. I also like the charger that comes with them, which is one of the few inexpensive ones I've seen that will charge a single cell at a time.

*Don't ask me. That's just what they're called.

Can HR6 batteries replaced with LR6?

My ~10 year-old Olympia digital camera calls for four HR6 batteries (specified on the case). Years ago, after consulting Radio Shack, I replaced the HR6 batteries with LR6, and they've worked well. There IS a voltage difference (1.5V for the HR6 alkaline; 1.2V for the LR6 rechargeable), but that hasn't impacted the camera's ongoing performance. However, some devices may be more or less sensitive to voltage differences. I'd suggest asking Radio Shack, or some other techie store, about your specific device.
