rechargeable batteries

[fabsroman]

I use Energizer AA rechargeables in my Motorola handhelds and they seem to work fine. I can hunt with them all day and they still have power at the end of the day. The caveat is that I am not sending and receiving all day on them. Pretty much just a couple of check ins with my dad while I am on stand and a couple of calls to come and pick me up for lunch and at the end of the day. I've also used the handhelds for several hours while riding bikes with my sisters just in case they should get lost. I use 2500 Mah rechargeable batteries in them and a lot of other electronic devices of mine.

Over time, rechargeable batteries will go bad. So, I bought a $5 tester and I test them when they come out of the charger. If they fall anywhere below the mid level reading on the tester, they get tossed.
