Ok, I dont know alot about the aa rechargeable batterys, I do know that that 15 min charger that comes with somethem are ruff on cells. I like to get some for my tq3 radio, Getting tired of throwing away batterys. So Which batterys and charger would be suited for this ? I dont mind spending money on good cells and good charger for them. I didnt know if this belong in the eleticronics forum or here.

I use Duracell NiMH 2300 and they last quite a while. As for the charger, its a 5 hour Panasonic charger we got with a pack of 6 recharable batts at BJ's. It works very nicely. I'm happy with it.

The energizers are the best for the money. I've heard someone say that they are made by Sanyo for energizer. I've got over 30 cells no problems. The charger that came with mine seems to work great.

I'am guessing that you guys pick up package deals that comes with batterys and charger at the stores ? I seen them before I dont know which one to get.

Energizers are relabeled Sanyo Industrials, some of the best batteries period.

Get the combo that has a 4 cell 8 hour charger. The other charger, a 15 minute 7.5 amp dealio, will kill the cell's lifespan majorly.

Also, make sure you get the Chinese version of the Energizers. Look on the battery for where it's made.

So I heard thur the grape vine that....
NiMH batts = 1.2v x 8 = 9.6

Alkaline - 1.5v x 8 = 12v

Is this going to be a problem ? Or will 9.6v be alright to run a radio all day ?

Eeepee you photo confuses me, is that an example of what to buy, or avoid?

Reflection · 11-01-2006, 07:16 PM

I run these in my radios and have built reciever packs out of them. The ones I run in my radio,I charge them with my Triton or my Integy 16x4 at 1.5. Takes roughly 25 minutes most of the time. The cells in my radio,I charged them up about 2 months ago. Been to 3 comps,a few get togethers and run a half a dozen times here at home and they are still kicken. My reciever pack,I can get about 12 or 13 runs before I recharge. They aren't plumb dead but I can tell a little difference. Just repeak them for a few and off we go.

To charge the cells in my radio,I got a battery holder at Radio Shack that holds 8 AA's. Plug it in and hit charge. The reciever pack,just like any other reciever pack.

It's not that the Japanese versions are bad, it's just that they self discharge faster than normal. Which is not a problem is you charge the batteries before you use them. So, to get the better of the two, the label should say Made in China.

You just answered my problem I've been having. I have the made in Japan ones, and if they sit in my camera bag for a few weeks they're dead when I go to use them. Thanks
