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

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.
