At least it is a bit easier on batteries. YB400 = 6; 7600GR = 4; Kaito 102 = 3 batteries each. I prefer sticking with the even numbers for the simple reason that you *may* wish to charge your batteries outside the radio (i.e. the Kaito 102) and few external chargers will charge an odd number of batteries so you either put a charged one in a charger with a discharged one or make some attempt at charging only one battery. Aside from that the Kaito 102 is a fine little radio. For some reason mine does not want to charge the batteries properly in the radio - thus the previous comments. I may just need to spread the prongs on the charger to make a better contact, but with several external chargers I haven't bothered. I have several different mAh sizes. Those in the Kaito 102 are 1300, some Panasonics are 1600 and some Energizers are 2500 mAh. Go with the largest mAh batteries that you can locate and you'll spend less time swapping batteries or charging them. Also, get plenty of the same size batteries so you don't find yourself attempting to charge different sizes/ratings. I have two cheap chargers that will charge different mAh batteries but the more expensive one will not work with a charged and a discharged battery or two different mAh batteries, the best I can recall right now. |
