Just wondered why Energizer Lithium batteries provide more voltage initially than charged Eneloop Pro batteries. The Energizers start at over 5, while the Eneloops charged by a wall charger start at under 4. What's the best solution here?

because regular batteries are a 1.5 volt thing and re-chargeable are 1.2 ?
it has to do with the chemicals used and then the voltage potential of it.
like zinc-carbon is 1.5 and lead acid is 2.1

I don't use the Eneloop Pro. To me, the white ones stay charged longer, in comparison. Of course, I could be wrong because I have no measurements.
I also have no measurements but the regular Eneloops are rated for more charge/discharge cycles over their life than the Pro ones are. I think the thought is that the Pro ones don't need to be charged as often but in my experience the difference in run time isn't really that great. The premium for Pro ones isn't worth it, IMO.
What would be the best rechargeable batteries and the longest for hours for 436?

For my two 436s I use the Duracell 2500mAh batteries and I don't charge them in the scanner. I have a Smart Charger OPUS BT-C3400 from Amazon. The silver Eveready batteries that I use to use stop holding a charge after 2 yrs of use. I also have a set of
X2 Power 2700mAh from Batteries Plus that are very good too. Just remember a smart charger will allow you to test and charge batteries to their full potential!

I agree with the duracell 2500`s. I have found that they are superior to the eneloops,at least my experience with them.
And how long do you have the radio on before they die?
You can always run it off of an external battery pack if you need extended run time. I can run mine for days straight on a 20,000mAh Ravpower battery pack. Same one I use in the link below. Got it off Ebay new for $20.
