anyone tried those 15 minute VARTA Recharge AA batteries? they are i think thought of by planet ark and take 15 mintutes to recharge.
if anyone has tried them , please let me know.

they cost about $80 with 4 batteries at supermarekts.
ive never really thought of a 15 mitnute battery to last as lon as they 15 hour charge batteries.
Thanks.

I use Grandcell batteries, i use the normal alkalines, and u'll be suprised at how long they last, numerous times iv left the scanner on over night and the batteries kept on going, they also have NiHM batteries, which are even better, if u go to tandy, u can get the charger with 4 alkilines and 2 NiHM for $35, batteries take about 8 hours to charge when almost fully flat, but if u have a couple of sets like i do, u'll always have a set ready to go. Chuck the flat ones in the charger before u go to bed, and when u wake up their ready to go generally.

Chrislington uses the DSE rechargable batteries
But even they go pretty hard.

I got the Varta Charger and I wreckin its Excellent because you also get a cig lighter cable so you can charge your batteries while youre driving.
