[QUOTE="Guest, post: 68324"] Was thinking about one for my SST but then read this: Would be ok if your close to home & can charge it regularly or have an alkaline set spare but for $145 you would be better off with normal rechargables or lithium rechargables that can be replaced by cell rather than the whole battery pack I.e. if one or a few batteries prematurely die then you can replace those if 1 or more cells go in the pack you would need to replace it as a whole? Whites manual says the alkalines will still allow normal operation even just below 8v, although I would still stick to replacing at 50% or around 10v to ensure max performance, while any rechargables are "dead" at 8v & require recharging. One of the first things that happens, according to Whites, when the voltage is getting low is a drop in volume so to make sure your getting those faint signals keeping voltage at those optimum levels is a good idea. For mine I'll stick with alkalines until I come across a good, reasonably priced rechargeable lithium system. [/QUOTE]
