Alan -

I am sure that you are aware that the BB-390A/U is a NiMh, and, not an NiCd.
They are neat with the built in charge indicator, however, I have not found
them to be that accurate. The 490 and 590 are no longer in inventory, and
the 5590 is only used in training. The 390 is the one that gets actually
fielded with the equipment. 73 - Mike
