[K3PZN-List] NiMH batteries at Costco

[Scott, KB3JQQ]

2000mAH.

4 pack of Polaroid AA rechargaebles at Big Lots is $6. They are 2100mAH.

Those are not the good Sanyos. I got some 2700s here that are still
running in my PRO106! About 2 hours last night, 8 hours at work, and I'm
on another 1.5 hours and still going. My charger is a Panasonic BQ-345A
that I got at Big Lots back in '03. They came with 4 1950s that are
still going strong. I also have good luck with those cheap green GP Ni-Mh
that were being sold at hamfests about the same time. Some said that those
cells stunk. I think they were using Nicad chargers and not a NiMh unit.
