Hi Ken, While higher capacity may seem better, it is sort of a false promise. The highest capacity cells tend to have high self-discharge, which causes them to deplete just sitting on the shelf quickly.
Look for low self-discharge batteries. Sanyo's Enerloop (~2000mah) or Sanyo's XX (~2500mah) are two good examples. Hard to beat amazon pricing. Enerloop are about $20 for a set of 8. XX are about $34. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
