I don't want to sound like a cheapy, but I use alkaline batts. from the Dollar
General Store $5.oo for a 24 pack and they seem to last as long as the other
batts. I've used. Hey, I've got kids and things often get left on.

I use the standard alkalines. Bass pro sells a 48-pack of batteries for cheap
and I get about 24 hours off a set...
Let's break it down: 48 divided by 2 radios = 24. 24 divided by 2 (one set of
batts.) get's you 12 days of power all for under 10 bucks.

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.
