I find that I drain four 1650ma NiMH batteries in around three hours.
This corresponds to around 550ma, which seems excessive. Is anyone
doing better?


Thanks to all who replied -- which (as usual) did not include Radio
Shack who I emailed.

I recharged the batteries in the radio -- a slow charge. The radio is
up to 10 hours and still going.

The three-hour life was what I was seeing after a fast charge of the
batteries outside the radio on a Maha C777 charger. Apparently, the
charger thought it was done when the cells were only 1/3 charged. But
that is another problem.
