Thanks for the info on the batteries. I went through some of the ones I have and the last batch I got are Sanyos (ordered online) and they say Japan on them. I may just charge these up and see how they work, I think they are around 2 years old (I used them in my camera and HT before).
On a side note, Instead of making an external battery case... I was thinking of using the ones inside the rig. Has anyone tapped in to the wires for these and run an external plug for a charger? Is there anything I have to be careful with? I have a Micro M+ solar charge controller that I use with my SLA and was thinking of running a wire from the batter cases, through the 2m antenna port (plug right now), and put a Power Pole on the end. The controller has diodes in it so the current only goes one way. Another thought is my panel is made out of some Powerfilm panels (10 5omA strips). Last time I was out on the trials I strapped the panel to my pack. It wasn't in direct sunlight, but it was working while I was hiking. Now, how about one of those gyroscope mounts that tracks the sun? That might make my solar charging more efficient on the go HI.
