Hi.
        I don't like the idea of any sort of proprietary battery pack, if I
may say so. I think the use of standard batteries is one of the best
features of the BP and, with chargers being relatively cheap now, I'll be
glad to risk the battery contacts removing and reinserting  batteries rather
than having a charging circuit in the unit if that circuit requires a
special battery. Further, I think a charging circuit, even if it were merely
connected with the outside through terminals, would increase the weight and
complexity of the unit, which I don't think is desirable for something that
we can do ourselves relatively easily. 
        Aman

HI;
I too like the concept of rechargeable batteries.  Physical changes to the 
unit are more of a long term idea than software updates but I would like to
recharge the batteries while they are in the machine.  If a plug is to 
bulky, perhaps a set of terminals for a drop in charger.  Anyone have any 
thoughts as to affordable chargers?  Many unrelated units I own come with 
their own battery pack and charger.
