[QUOTE="KarlS, post: 114581, member: 2409"] No, I recon if you can get NiZn reasonably cheap it is good alternative to spend couple hundred bucks on batt. pack. With Li-ion batteries you are facing one problem. There is not battery discharge monitoring on SPP. Current low battery light is only good for NiCad batteries. If you discharge Li-ion battery below 3.25V it will get stuffed pretty fast. When the dust settles down about SPP mods. and I know how many switches or pots I have to add, I will add small digital voltmeter with momentary push button switch so I can check voltage on any kind of batteries that I'm going to use. Then I will mod battery holder to accept 6 AA Li-ion rechargable plus 2 dummies . Two banks of 3 in series batteries. That will give me about same search time as supplied battery pack but at around 12 Volts. But without voltage monitoring it would be just waste of time and money. Karl [/QUOTE]
