Ohhh-Weeee she is sexy,,
70 bucks really isnt that much-considering ow many packs of alkaline batts
cost X how many we would use on avg,,
the costs are quickly recooped..
I think the problem here could be any number of things..Wrong Setting for Battery Type in the Scanner,or Just plain over charging the batteries with the radio turned off.And don't take that in the wrong way...I now know better. But for someone who buys a GRE PSR-300, and just reads the owner's manual...would you think anything would be a problem???

Maybe overcharging, but the batteries are correct and there is no setting on the scanner for a "battery type."
I've been there and gotten the T-Shirt. You may be able to replace the case back, battery compartment cover, and battery cradle to revive your PSR300.
I recommend this charger BC-900 by La Crosse Technology - Tomorrow's Weather Today or the one above, as I use both.
Maybe in your scanner there isn't a setting for type, mine a RS 106 lets you set it for Alkaline Nicad or NIMH even the various software programs have places to set that correctly.I think the problem here could be any number of things..Wrong Setting for Battery Type in the Scanner,or Just plain over charging the batteries with the radio turned off.

I have the PowerEx battery charger and do NOT recommend it. Yes it is better than charging in the scanner, but not as good of a choice as the LaCrosse. IMHO the PowerEx was designed to sell you more batteries. It will refuse to charge batteries that can be safely charged in other chargers.
3. I can show you identical pictures of a melted battery holder and mine also has the DuraCell 2650s in it. I have had much better luck with lower capacity batteries; specifically the Sanyo Eneloops 2000mah.

I use the same batteries in my Uniden, work great but I never use an adaptor, always charge out of the scanner. I went to get some more at W-M and they don't have any. Went to many stores and no one is carrying Duracell re-chargeable.
