I'll be damned, searching google for "2300 mAH" was what got me to that award winning MAHA Powerex battery site, and there were so many brands of NiMH batteries they sell, I was confused as to why they said that the 2200 Powerex were their best until I called them. They are $4.00 each (in packs of 4), but given their long term rechargeable nature, it made a lot of sense to splurge on getting the best batteries. The tech support person there also said that it was perfectly fine to use the simple Radio Shack Fast Charger that has the auto-shutoff when it detects the batteries not taking any further charging, but I went ahead and also ordered their new 100 min highly rated charger shown here because I'm into quality. http://www.thomas-distributing.com/mhc401fs.htm Hey I'm a gadget nerd, what can I say. ----- Original Message ----- From: "eD\/ARd0 F/\KEn^M3" <cojonesdetoro_at_badeddie.com> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 11:42 AM Subject: Re: Batteries? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Eddie" <frogkiller01_at_hotmail.com> > To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 12:55 AM > Subject: Re: Batteries? > > > snip > >but all I have found > > so far is 1800 mAh.
