I get such good life with the stock battery though I think as much as I use
it I'll have to replace the battery soon, but anyway and I carry the AA
holder for a spare, no spare rechargeable pack and unlike most of my HT's,
the TH-F6A has never let me down when the battery died unexpectedly.

Hi Everyone;
Speaking of weather, with spring and summer rapidly approaching, what is the
battery and charger arrangement for the TH-F6A.
I'll start using my F6 more and I would like to have a battery available
and, while using the radio, I would like to be charging another battery.
Thanks
