Hello,
Anyone happy with a particular brand of NiMH batteries? I use
mine with portable shortwave radios.
Thank you,
Mike McM.

I'm running Sanyo "eneloop" in my Uniden TT 4/ 396T. a slow charge
from my MAHA C808, bout 35 to 45 min. i get over 10 hours. these
are 2K mAh, NiMH. under $10.00 for pack of 4. the cool thing is
they hold their change, un used on the shelf a long time. so, in
the long run, you get more for your money. i have never had any
rechargeable last over 7 hours in the HH scanners. good luck.

I can run my AR8200 all day on a single charge if I turn all the lights
and beeps off.

Ditto on ENELOOP. That is all I buy these days for rechargeable. I
don't recall seeing them that cheap though.

If only. Here we have the standard US brands, Energizer and Duracell
which are poorly made in the EU or absolute crap made in Singapore,
and Chinese (PRC) brands some of which are slightly better than the Singapore
ones others are worse.

Haven't seen a Ray-O-Vac battery since I left the US.
