If it's the wrong chemistry, no amount of electrolyte in the cell will
give you 1.5 volts -- it'll just give you a bigger capacity (more amps).
Alkalines are 1.5 volts because that's what their chemistry produces.
NiMH are 1.2 because that's what *their* chemistry produces.
If manufacturers of electronic devices were smart, they'd re-engineer
their devices so that 4 x 1.2 volts (or whatever number of cells they
require in the device's battery compartments) would produce the
necessary voltage to properly run their devices -- then you wouldn't
need alkalines. Radio Shack, a long LONG time ago, used to sell a
5-watt walkie-talkie that had a battery compartment that could take 8
alkaline AAs (for twelve volts) or *ten* rechargeable AAs (to still give
twelve volts). One of the more elegant solutions for this type of problem.
