Batteries

[godskidz]

Hi.
The batteries in my 246t (after about twelve hours of charging) last only around three-
four hours.
They are eight months old.
The original batteries.
What is a good replacement rechargable battery for them.
Thanks
GOD BLESS

How about doing a search on 'Batteries'? I've had success with Energizers purchased @ local Wal-Mart. Charge them with Maha 401FS.

Search for other opinions..

Powerex 2500 or the new 2700 maH metal hydrides. Along with the above mentioned Maha charger, they are available from www.thomasdistributing.com. They are the best AAs I have ever used.

I agree with GTO 04. Best accessory purchase I've made.

I use the Energizer 2500mAh nickel-metal hydrides with the MAHA MH-C777PLUS-II.

Fantastic charger. I'm already looking forward to getting rid of all my giant, clunky Motorola chargers for my two-way collection.

Great charger. I have one of these too.

The one problem/issue for the application we're talking about is that it will charge the batteries in series. I have read that as cells age their charge characteristics change. So it is better to have a charger like the 401FS where each cell can be charged individually.

If the AA's were big ticket items, I might be concerned. Seeing as they're, at most, a few dollars each, I'll take my chances. Still, good to know there's a possible 'issue'. I primarily got the C777 for my Motorola battery packs. Most ot the factory chargers are huge and the little MAHA replaces them all. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I bought 2500 mAh's from Wal-Mart. Pack of 8 for $10.00.

You can also buy an Energizer 30 minute charger with 4 2500 mAh batteries for about $30.00 at Wal-Mart. I have purchased the Duracell 2500's as well.
