Thanks for the replies. I have heard a lot about those, do they have a lower mAh rating due to this?

I think that's right - surely there is a situation where they will leak, but it appears that you have to work at it to get any damage. :-) Yes, pretty much any rechargeable cell will have less

I agree about the Eneloops. I have (literally) 18 radios that I keep Eneloops in. 12 of those live mostly in their cases in a drawer. I take those out every 6 months or so and cycle the batteries for

I have had very good experience with Eneloop (from Panasonic) brand AA NiMH cells. When I was taking my radio scanner to work I was regularly cycling some through that but now that I work from

Excellent report as always and you have done a great job with these LOGGINGS, including getting some confirmation via Facebook. Paul

Sorry, I wanted to say 5 inches FSL (not 3,5" as I did) Stay safe! Jorge Garzón Gutiérrez "IberiaDX" (EB7EFA · EA1036 SWL · BDXC Member 1409) QTH: IN83ag / 43º15' N · 03º56' W Urb. San Roque

Just in from SWPC prediction pages, looks like the show is about to begin to the North and NNE. Neighbors just finished clearing trees last week and now have a 50 mile view including WRCH antenna
