[Az-Geocaching] RTW & batteries

[Robert & Linda Smith]

Rand,
I have to agree with Scott, If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It, I have a 
bunch (12 or more) rechargeables that I use in our GPSr's...  I have to 
admit one thing however, I like the way the power condition meter reads 
with AA better than my rechargeables.  I'm sure that is because the NiMH 
batteries only measure 1.2 volts  instead of the 1.4 to 1.45 in the 
AA's..  I can get a good day with my NiMH's in Mom's Garmin GPS12 or my 
old Magellan Meridian Gold. I am really looking forward to using the 60C 
and just 2 batteries.

But, I am stil using these old NiCads from 3 years ago!!!!!!!!  They dont last nearly as long as they used to, but they still work!!! So I havent been motivated enough to buy new batteries yet! :) LOL
