Thoughts on handheld Aviation radios (ICOM vs Vertex-Standard)
WallMart has Eveready NiMH 2300 cells, about 11 bucks for 4. I don't think that is expensive, for how many charges you can get out of them. And you are right, they kick alkaline's As* ! :-) I bought an 8 pack from Wally World for appx $17 about 2 weeks ago. FYI.... The previous versions offered last year were 2100 mAh. Some say they are not good batteries, but I have had great luck with them. One will go bad at random, once in a while, but the rest go on and on. As far as the self discharge goes, I have never scientifically charted them, but I have the feeling that they are not as bad as the 1% per day that some people claim. I've never lost a single NiMH battery in 5 years of use. Call it luck or just old fashion TLC. g As to self discharge... Ambient temp is a most important variable. 20 to 45% loss in 30 days is typical for NiMH cells according to http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/...H_Overview.pdf Ta-ta.... Barnyard BOb - |
