I got my Wii last Thursday and found out this morning that my main Wiimote's batteries are dead. I think i'm going to buy some rechargeables just for the Wiimotes.
My stock batteries lasted two weeks before I got the "batteries need replacing" message (playing several hours a day) and a further 4 days before dieing completely. I now have rechargables, with a usb recharger plugged in to the wii.
I think that my stocks lasted about 30 hours or so. I know that I went through about 3 pairs before I clocked in 80 hours in Zelda. Rechargeables, without a doubt.
Longer than the panasonic ones i got from the dollar store... those lasted for 2 hours... I've been using rechargeable since then and it's worth it when you're burning AA's on the 360 controller and the wii mote.

After getting a Wii on the 7th of December (launch day), my batteries finally died on Boxing Day. Keep in mind that is 3-4 hours per day up to Christmas and 7-8 hours a day on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
My relatives burned them up over Christmas, they got addicted .
Now out my relatives they have 5 new Wii's between them. The Wii's a great salesman .
