Watch for "SAFT" manufactured 5590's. These are quite dangerous. They're
"Lithium Sulfur Dioxide". Dispose of as "hazardous waste" rather than messin'
with 'em.

The BB-590 is ni-cad; no problems.


Thank you for the warning.

I am still interested in locating a SOURCE for these batteries....at
least for the BB-590 and associated charging unit.

Thanks again.
