Can 1.2V rechargeable batteries replace 1.5V alkaline manganese batteries?

The alkaline manganese battery discharges over the voltage range 1.5V and 0.9V,whereas rechargeable portable batteries discharge at a virtually constant voltage of 0.2V/cell. This voltage level is roughly equivalent to that of the average discharging voltage of an alkaline manganese battery. Therefore, exchanging a rechargeable, portable battery for an alkaline-manganese battery or vice versa should never be a problem.
