Well, the www.batteriesamerica.com site is no longer listing their 4/5A 
private label cells, just the Sanyos (HR-AUL, $4.25 each, 2150 mAh).  i 
always buy 'em at the hamfests, they tend to discount heavily (most amateur 
radio types are pretty cheeep!).  if you do a google search, you may turn up 
some other suppliers.  Just make sure you get them with tabs!  BTW, that site 
has 2000 mAh AA cells for $3.50......extrapolating that figure gives me the 
mythical 2700 mAh 4/5ths A cell that I bought some time back, and which 
disappeared after that one purchase.  Wonder if those cells will be offered 
again?  That would increase run time on a Duo by at least 20%.
