Hi all, I use nimh batteries I fined that if you are just reading txt files you get ages out of the batteries but if you are listening to allot of mp3 files they don't last as long it's just what I would expect of coarse and I agree it's at your own risk if you use rechargeable batteries they can just dye I have had them dye when I'm trying to transfer stuff across to bc but on the whole I will stick my neck out and say I will continue to use rechargeable batteries all the best. -----Original Message----- From: bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Judy W Sent: 20 February 2006 19:28 To: bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookcourier] Re: Best type of Batteries for the bookcourier I would be careful with rechargeables because of past crash problems. If you use rechargeables, don't let them drain lower than 25 percent. I use high quality name brand batteries that I purchase in bulk.

What would you all recommend for normal type Batteries and rechargeables. I had some NIMH Batteries here but I didn't get long out of them. Many thanks in advance for any information Andrew
