      Duh me......I use energizer rechargeables for everything else.  Silly me 
was thinking about getting the radios and and the rechargeable batteries that 
are specially made for it.  I think I'll get the radios and a few more 
energizer rechargeables and go that right.  I already use them in my GPS and 
almsot everything else in this house that needs batteries, so I can't believe I 
didn't suggest that option myself. 

      Will someone please come slap me already for not thinking of that.

        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.

        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.
