That's ok, I wouldn't file assault charges when I asked to be slaped around a 
little bit.  Besides I didn't get slaped at the 101 today, hehe.

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.

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.

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.
