[QUOTE="Old Charlie, post: 146813, member: 4554"] Run time is important but the ability of a battery to maintain a high voltage for as long as possible is probably more important on the SPP. I am currently testing a new type of AA rechargeable which will give around 14 .8 Volts from the SPP 8 cell pack at full charge. After 3 hours use the Pack still shows over 12 Volts. This is important with the SPP because performance on small gold drops away when the voltage gets low. I have also tested these new rechargeables to see how they hold charge and have found that after 3 weeks without use a fully charged pack shows almost no voltage drop at all. I am also testing the RNB HP3100 pack from the U.S. So far results have been good but a bit more testing is needed yet. The ability to use a 12 volt car charger on the RNB is a real bonus. [/QUOTE]
