[gps-talkusers] Re: A curious ?

Hello Todd,

You make a good point.  The old sport track GPS receivers Sendero and 
PulseData sold with version 2.0 uses 2 AA batteries, and to be 
environmentally conscious users should consider buying some rechargeable 
batteries.

I am sure some of our users have already done this and can tell the group 
which batteries are the best and the brand which can be recharged without 
having to totally drain them before recharging because of memory issues 
with some rechargeable batteries.

The new Earthmate GPS receivers we are currently shipping have a battery 
pack which is rechargeable.

Charles.
