The downside is the volt is not 1.5volts. Its closer to 1.2volts. This is fine if you're using 2 batteries for things like the TV remote. But when you're using things that require more than 4 batteries, then you might get into some weirdness. I have a remote for my DSLR that sends infrared to the softbox. Every 10 shots, it would miss the shot. It turned out to be the batteries. It needed all 6Volts vs 4.8Volts.
Every battery has a voltage curve though; even alkaline batteries will drop off the 1.5v region after some time. Comparatively, ni-mh rechargeables will hold 1.2v more consistently and for longer than an alkaline, where it's voltage drops pretty quickly as the battery dies.
