[GeoStL] Re: Question about 2 Way Radios

I heard a report on the Clark Howard Show a while back and it was pointed out that the name brand batteries are NOT any better than the cheapos. Bernie

I don't want to sound like a cheapy, but I use alkaline batts. from the Dollar General Store $5.oo for a 24 pack and they seem to last as long as the other batts. I've used. Hey, I've got kids and things often get left on.

I use the standard alkalines. Bass pro sells a 48-pack of
batteries for cheap and I get about 24 hours off a set...
Let's break it down: 48 divided by 2 radios = 24. 24 divided by 2
(one set of batts.) get's you 12 days of power all for under 10 bucks.

Sorry for those of you who mat have already read this, it was
included at the bottom of another post of mine and I think it
got lost in the shuffle of legal discussion on FRS/GMRS.
Now for my question.......For those of you already using the
motorola radios, are you using regular alkaline batteries?
Rechargeable AA's? or the rechargables designed for it w/the
base unit? And what is battery life on each?
I saw the ones on sale at best buy and saw the rechargeable
battery kit listed for $24.99. The same radios with the
battery set are similar in price at Amazon as the cost to buy
them seperately at best buy. Was just trying to decide which
would be a better deal for me, especially since I'm horible
about sending in rebate forms.
