A couple decades ago, about 1980, I think it was. I had a
couple CB walkies, and tried using them on nicad AA cells.
The walkies were good for about an hour of chit chat. Not
all that useful.

I had a walkie that would take alkalines or
rechargeables.
Performance was the same when fully charged. But output was
more
uniform until death, lacking the slow decline of alkalines.

Rechargeable life was less than practical for long days
in the
field.
