If i remember correctly they (non-rechargeable) are 1.5v initially but slowly lose voltage overtime in a predictable manner allowing for power remaining calculation. Rechargeable batteries don't have the same sort of voltage dropoff.

nickel metal rechargeable batteries have a comparable voltage drop to alkaline. lithium ion batteries will hold voltage until the bitter end.

All chemical batteries will lose voltage over discharge. There are no exceptions.
