Re: [Az-Geocaching] RTW & batteries

Rand,
I have to agree with Scott, If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It, I have a
bunch (12 or more) rechargeables that I use in our GPSr's... I have to
admit one thing however, I like the way the power condition meter reads
with AA better than my rechargeables. I'm sure that is because the NiMH
batteries only measure 1.2 volts instead of the 1.4 to 1.45 in the
AA's.. I can get a good day with my NiMH's in Mom's Garmin GPS12 or my
old Magellan Meridian Gold. I am really looking forward to using the 60C
and just 2 batteries.

But, I am stil using these old NiCads from 3 years ago!!!!!!!! They dont last nearly as long as they used to, but they still work!!! So I havent been motivated enough to buy new batteries yet! :) LOL
