[GeoStL] Re: Question about 2 Way Radios

Bernie is right.  We were going through some of Diana's old toys before 
Christmas and found one that she played with alot for about 2 years and it 
still had it's original cheapo batteries in it and was still going strong.  I 
think in some cases teh cheapos run longer.  I recently got a 24pack of AAA 
from my local save-a-lot for $1 and they seemed pretty good in kid toys

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
