[GeoStL] Re: Question about 2 Way Radios

After I got mine, I put three Nickel Hydride (1850ma) and let it run.  I
played around with it too.  The low battery warning came on after having it
on for about a continuous 48-hour stretch.    

 

Nickel Hydride seems to be the best kind of battery to use for everything-It
is all I use.  A charge will generally last longer than alikine batteries.
You can get one hour chargers.  I buy the Energizer as they are 1850 ma,
Duracell are only 1800 ma.  Rechargeable saves you lots of money.

Subject: [GeoStL] Question about 2 Way Radios

 

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.
