Do touchless trash cans use a lot of batteries?

Across r/BuyItForLife and r/Costco threads, battery drain is the single most common complaint about sensor cans. Models with an AC adapter option (such as the iTouchless 24-gallon AC variant) sidestep this issue, and EKO communicated to one Reddit owner that rechargeable batteries should not be used with their sensors. Plan on standard alkalines and budget for replacements.
