[Boatanchors] wtb: battery pack

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

You can purchase six rechargeable AA cells and an efficient charger for 
about $24. Very cost effective, very efficient.

I am a professional Magician/Illusionist and use a HME dual diversity 
wireless receiver and mike on stage. The battery pack for the mike uses a 9 
VDC battery. Two performances per battery lifetime. Not cost efficient! I 
bought a charger and two rechargable 9 VDC batteries. I did not have to 
replace either of the rechargeable batteries for ten years! It is amazing 
how much money you can save by using six AA rechargeable batteries and a 
charger over a few years!

Oh yes, I should mention this. The charger I bought for AA batteries does 
four at one time.
