I received a PSR 800 this Christmas and have been experimenting with different rechargeable batteries. Any suggestions on what batteries work the best with this unit?
Interesting... basically the same thing happened to me. Charger (same as yours) kicked back a "HIGH" error.For me, the Powerex, although a higher capacity rating, were the worst. They tended to last a short time before I had to throw them out (couldn't charge them).
Thank you for this info. I'll be buying these when I get a little extra cash.I prefer the Sanyo Eneloop 2000, charged in the Maha C9000. The Powerex 2700 also works well for me (they're in my PSR-800 right now).
You made a good choose I have the MaHa Powerex 2700 and am very impressed with their performance.Thanks for all the feedback! I ordered a 16 pack of MaHa Powerex 2700's and a MaHa MH-C801D charger from Thomas Distributing last week. Everything should be here on Tuesday and I am anxious to try these out.
Another vote for the Maha C9000 charger. I get around 8 to 8.5 hours of use per charge using Sanyo 2700 Mah Nickel Metal Hydride cells. This is with the '800 backlight on level 3 for 100% of the time, scanning busy trunked systems.I too would recommend the Maha C9000 charger with the Sanyo Eneloop batteries. It is a very good combination.
I will let you know how I make out with the MaHa 2700's and the charger I purchased.Is anyone getting a whole day.......like me.........?
San QI will let you know how I make out with the MaHa 2700's and the charger I purchased.
I've had the same experience with Powerex 2700s. Some were very good, some were duds. Keep in mind the Powerex 2700s have a one-year warranty. Thomas Distributing replaced the duds and the new ones have been better.Hi,
I think, by far, the Sanyo Eneloops work best. I have used others, such as Powerex 2700 and even Energizers 2450. For me, the Powerex, although a higher capacity rating, were the worst. They tended to last a short time before I had to throw them out (couldn't charge them).
