Default Sangean ATS-505P versus Eton E5

Be aware that the Eton E5 gobbles batteries even when turned off. I
own one and typically have to recharge the batteries after 2 months of
non-use.



I believe the self discharge rate on some NiMh batteries may be as high
as one percent a day. If so, the radio isn't at fault..
